03:08Papa Conclave to elect a new Supreme Pontiff to lead the Catholic Church.

03:13The Sistine Chapel is located in the city of the Vatican, inside the Apostolic Palace.

03:20It was built between 1477 and 1481 under the mandate of Pope 6.4, from whom it takes its name, and

03:32designed by architects such as Giovanni del Dolce and Biascio Pontelli.

03:38The Sistine Chapel is a masterpiece of the Renaissance, an ensemble of religious art.

03:49Among the most famous artistic masterpiece inside the chapel is the Boat by Michelangelo,

03:56which was painted by the commission of Pope Julius II, including more than 300 figures.

04:04These hymns from Genesis, such as the creation of Adam, it also includes the Final Judgment,

04:11a work also by Michelangelo, that covers the main altar, which represents the Apocalypse,

04:19with Christ judging humanity.

04:22And on its side walls, it houses four skulls by Botticelli, Perugino, Ghirlandio and Rosselli,

04:33from the 15th century, representing the scenes from the life of Moises and Christ.
