Above the apse (the arched part above the altar) there is a spot marked with a red lightbulb. This marks the spot where one of the nails of Jesus’ crucifixion was allegedly placed. Every year on the Saturday closest to September 14 the archbishop of Milan ascends to the apex in a wooden basket decorated with angels to retrieve the nail.
The Sistine Chapel, located within Vatican City, stands not only as a testament to divine artistry but also as a repository of profound human expression. Among its many treasures, one masterpiece stands out with unparalleled grandeur: Michelangelo's "The Last Judgment." This awe-inspiring fresco adorning the chapel's altar wall captivates visitors with its intricate details and profound symbolism.
