museums in the Vatican City, which display works from the extensive collection
of the Roman Catholic Church. Pope Julius II founded the museums in the
16th century. The Sistine Chapel and the Stanze della Segnatura decorated
by Raphael are on the visitor route through the Vatican Museums. Continuing
into St. Peter’s Basilica, the splendid church and the ever famous
Saint Peter's Square, designed by Gianlorenzo Bernini, together with the
colonnade, provide the setting for the largest church dedicated to Christianity.
The construction of Saint Peter's Basilica began in 1506 and was finished
in 1612; to be precise, it is a reconstruction, the present basilica having
been built on the location of a previous one built by the Emperor Constantine.
After a break for lunch the tour will carry on at Circus Maximus and see
a spectacular view of the Palatine Hill with its Ancient Palaces.
