The Vatican is also home to one of Michelangelo’s most awe-inspiring sculptures, The Pieta. While the theme of the Virgin and Child was a common one in that era, no other work captures the feeling and meaning of the crucifixion as this wonder.
The Vatican Museums are also home to works of other great masters like Caravaggio and Raphael, and the four Raphael Rooms are a must-see on any trip to Rome.
And when in Rome… This stunning city, the center of what was once a vast empire, not only has some of the greatest artwork in the world, but also boasts an architectural style that has influenced the world even to the present day. There are plenty of other historical sites to make Rome a top bucket-list trip!
