Of ancient city and ceiling frescoes

During my visit to Vatican City, I joined a guided tour that took me through the tranquil beauty of the Vatican Gardens, a peaceful retreat that offers a different perspective on the grandeur of the area. The lush greenery and well-manicured pathways felt almost surreal in contrast to the historical and spiritual significance surrounding the entire place. One of the highlights was the Sistine Chapel. Since we were on a guided tour, we bypassed the long queues, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Stepping inside, I was instantly captivated by Michelangelo’s ceiling frescoes. Seeing The Creation of Adam in person was truly moving—the colors were more vivid, the figures more lifelike than I could have imagined. The ceiling, with its intricate details and powerful storytelling, felt like it was enveloping us. It’s one thing to see photos, but being there, under that sky of divine artistry, was unforgettable. #europeanarchitecture #100waysoftravel
