1. The Courtyard of the Pine Cone in the Vatican Museums. If you have never been to the Vatican Museums, consider not only the Sistine Chapel but also other spaces, such as the Courtyard of the Pine Cone. It is one of the first stops you will make on your visit, a large open space of 300 square metres adjacent to the corridors and halls of the museum. If the weather is fine, enjoy the whole extent of the courtyard at leisure and pay attention to the various works of art here.

Roman copy of the Greek bronze original, located in the Agora in Athens, the famous Laocoon group, a 1st century A.D. Roman copy, Perseus with the head of Medusa, by Canova (early 19th century), the Hermes Pius-Clementine, a copy of a 4th century B.C. Greek statue.

3. One of the most beautiful and impressive parts of the Vatican Museums is certainly the long corridor, 120 metres long and six metres wide, leading to the Sistine Chapel adorned with maps. The Gallery of Maps, commissioned by Pope Gregory XIII, was created between 1580 and 1585. The frescoes were painted by Italian and Flemish artists under the direction of Ignazio Danti, mathematician, astronomer and cosmographer. The walls of the gallery are covered with forty maps of the various Italian regions, with maps of the main cities. On the ceiling adjacent to each region are representations of the main religious events that took place there.

About Roma

Roma pakker nesten tre tusen år med historie inn i én by du kan gå rundt i, fra Colosseum og Forum til barokke plasser og Vatikanets kunst.

Det antikke Roma er fortsatt synlig overalt. Colosseum, Forum Romanum og Palatinhøyden ligger sammen i hjertet av byen, Pantheon står ennå med sin åpne oculus, og rester av templer og akvedukter dukker opp mellom leilighetsbygningene. På den andre siden av Tiberen rommer Vatikanstaten Peterskirken, Vatikanmuseene og Michelangelos tak i Det sixtinske kapell.
