A Masterpiece in Every Room - The tour took us through galleries of ancient maps, religious artifacts, and famous paintings. The Gallery of Maps was fascinating, showing how people viewed the world centuries ago. In the Sistine Chapel, the ceiling and The Last Judgment on the wall were unbelievably detailed. It was a peaceful moment to reflect.
