A Day at the Vatican




Today will probably go down as my most memorable day in Rome so far, with our trip to the Vatican. Our visit included the Vatican Museums, the Raphael Rooms, the Sistine Chapel, St. Peter’s Cathedral, and a Scavi Tour underneath the Vatican. The Vatican really is the center of the world, for it exists as an independent state within the state of Italy. It is also the world center for Catholicism and some of the most elaborate and stunning architecture, painting, and sculpture. I’ll focus on the two experiences that had the greatest impact on me: the Sistine Chapel and the Scavi Tour.
