I came across this incredible virtual tour of the Sistine Chapel today. It’s from 2010 and presents an amazing (and tourist free) look inside the building.

To create the 365-degree view, a team from Villanova University was given unprecedented access to the chapel over five nights to compile the necessary images.  According to the university’s press release, “several thousand photographs were taken with an advances motorize camera right and then digitally stitched together”. The result is a stunning high-resolution tour of one of the world’s most famous buildings.

The building was consecrated on August 15, 1483 and named after Pope Sixtus IV della Rovere. It wasn’t until 1508, however, that Michelangoelo was tasked with painting the now famous ceiling. According to the Vatican’s website, he finished it in 1512.

Take some time and discover this amazing piece of history.

I just saw a building like this in the older section of Mexico City! There was a lot more greenery but it had a very similar design around the windows. I would have taken a picture, but alas I don’t have a camera and my old phone wouldn’t do it justice haha (: Classes have been great so far- I love being able to speak in Spanish to classmates instead of only speaking it with family back home. My host family is unbelievably kind and I’m already learning so much from them whether it be how the political factions dominate the city or a new way of making one of my favorite dishes. I had no idea what it would be like in Mexico City, but I’m loving it! It’s quite a cosmopolitan city. More updates later! To all my friends back home, I miss you all so much- we definitely have to travel together in the future (:
