Vatican and Catacombes

Today we went to the Sistine Chapel, the Vatican and the Catacombs. Beautiful buildings with lots of people viewing them.  We couldn't take photos of the Sistine Chapel or the Catacombs, but they were very interesting.

This looks like a painting, but is a mosaic, as are all the pictures in the Vatican

It is hard to understand the huge size of the interior by looking at this photo

This is part of the courtyard that holds 300,000 people

This was at the Catacombs.  The letters of the word fish stand for Jesus Christ, God's Son, Savior

These next two photos are from another of the churches owned by the Vatican
