After the four major basilicas<\/a> previously described, here is a selection of ten churches<\/strong> among the many and sublime that the city has, then a top 40<\/strong>. If this list is so extensive it is because it is very difficult to talk about Rome leaving some aside, either because of their architecture, their remarkable history, or for the extraordinary masterpieces they can host.<\/p>\n

First the 13 most beautiful churches, ordered according to our preference<\/em><\/p>\n

1. Sistine Chapel, among the top churches<\/h2>\n

Located in the Papal Palaces of the Vatican, accessible via the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel<\/strong> (Cappella Sistina<\/em>) is a unique work in the world. The vault was painted by Michelangelo<\/strong> in the sixteenth century, with its sumptuous frescoes that illustrate the Genesis<\/em> and episodes of the Old Testament<\/em>. A few years later, the great artist created the huge fresco of the Last Judgment<\/em> on the back wall, from 1535 to 1541.
These paintings have particular representations of human bodies, with the impression of movements, of impressive realism [page dedicated to the Sistine Chapel<\/a>].<\/p>\n\n\n
