- Vatican Museums - During the Roman Republic, the term “Vatican” was already in use for the area situated between the Janiculum, Vatican Hill, and Monte Mario, extending down to the Aventine Hill and up to the junction of the Cremer Creek. Vatican is a marshy region on the west bank of the Tiber, opposite the city of Rome. Part of Vatican Hill and the surrounding former Vatican Fields make up the territory of Vatican City. This area, along with several other structures, houses St. Peter’s Basilica, the Apostolic Palace, the Sistine Chapel, and museums.
- Sistine Chapel - The Sistine Chapel functions as the chapel of the Papal Chapel, one of the two bodies of the papal household, known as the Papal Court until 1968, despite being the site of papal conclaves. During the late fifteenth century under Pope Sixtus IV’s reign, the Papal Chapel included approximately 200 individuals, such as priests, Vatican officials, and notable laypeople. The Papal Calendar required the entire Papal Chapel to gather on fifty different occasions each year. Of these 50 events, 35 were masses, eight of which were held in basilicas, typically St. Peter’s, and attracted large crowds.
