The Sistine Chapel (Latin: Sacellum Sixtinum; Italian: Cappella Sistina) is a former house church in the Vatican. Built in 1473–1481 by the architect Giorgio de Dolci, commissioned by Pope Sixtus IV, hence the name.

Nowadays the chapel is a museum, an outstanding monument of the Renaissance. It is also used for conclaves at which cardinals elect a new pope.
