Tourist Rushed to Sistine Chapel on the Last Day Prior to Papal Conclave

Admin 13 March 2013 18 Comments

If you happen to be on tour in Rome and you are visiting Sistine Chapel, you might have not been able to come inside the Sistine Chapel and see the painting on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. That is because the Papal Conclave has been going on.

After the pronouncement of the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, who had his final day last Feb. 28, 2013.

The Sistine Chapel was open for visitors until March 1, 2013. Many tourists who planned earlier to visit Rome, took chances of visiting the inside of the Sistine Chapel.

Prior to visiting the Sistine Chapel, you will be able to visit the museum. When inside the Sistine Chapel, it is forbidden to take photos of any painting or anything inside the chapel. So tourists visiting Rome should respect that.

I’m sure even without pictures at the Sistine Chapel. It was a rewarding experience.

I hope I get to visit the Sistine Chapel soon. It would also be good if I could see the Pope. Well, at least a peek of him to feel blessed by him. Ü

I really wonder why it’s prohibited to take photos of paintings, even here in our Fort Bonifacio. One said that the camera’s flash would ruin the painting but I’m not quite sure if it’s true.

The famous Michelangelo murals in Sistine Chapel.
If you understand its history, it is known or given that people all over the world would want to see these paintings..
Who would have thought that the nude paintings originally thought to be obscene by devout Christians would be famous the world over in this time and age.

Yikes! Its kinda turn-off for me regarding restricting photography though their rule has to be respected.

Sistine Chapel is a great place to visit in Rome. I only know few things about it and how I wish I can visit the place soon.
