However, it is not connected (or is not open to tourists), so you can only go around outside the city, and there is still a distance. If you have read this chapter, please move to: Chinese. Read the latest chapter and circle the city wall. Finally, I saw a long dragon again. The length of this long dragon is much beyond Yunluo and An Chuyun, comparable to the Saudi Pavilion of the World Expo in Sihai City. Yunluo and An Chuyun walked along this team for almost ten minutes before reaching the main entrance of the museum.

There were still many scalpers selling early admission tickets. It was already 9:30 when we arrived at the door. Yun Luo was afraid that it would not be allowed to enter if it was too late. As a result, the guard saw that Yun Luo and An Chuyu had shaken the order, so he directly let Yun Luo and An Chuyu go in, without any danger. Looking at the crowd behind him who could not see the end, he breathed a sigh of relief.

This Westerner's Easter holiday is really a scam! The museum entrance requires security check, followed by the ticket office and commentator rental office. He successfully received the ticket and a guide with the reservation form. He told the staff that it was adjusted to the Chinese version (the Italian guides do not come with headphones, remember to bring them yourself), and took the map and began to study where to start visiting this world-wide museum.

Later, I saw other people's travel notes online, and there were very detailed Chinese maps and marks, which were clear at a glance. I was ashamed. Next time I went on a trip, I must be fully prepared for such a large attraction, otherwise I would not waste time on the spot. The key is that it is easy to miss the exciting parts and be blindly dazzled.

However, this is also a matter of opinion. Some people are unhappy to do a lot of strategies in advance, believing that this will lose the surprise and fun of travel. In short, the museum is a corridor-shaped, and the famous Sistine Chapel at the end is connected. At first, Yunluo did not understand what the concept of a chapel was, but later he roughly understood some.

The so-called chapel is actually a kind of small church. Later, Yunluo and Anchu met for several weeks and walked away. Most of them were connected to a ba-level cathedral and served as an attached room. According to Yunluo's personal understanding, the ceremonies and activities held in the main hall of the cathedral are usually more formal or of higher level.

Ordinary or smaller activities are carried out in the chapel, haha, I don’t know if this understanding is accurate. In short, the Sistine Chapel is a chapel of St. Peter’s Basilica. I went to Baidu and found that it was used by the Pope himself to pray, and now every pope selection is also carried out here.

Unfortunately, it is impossible to enter the cathedral from the museum. Later, we will talk about Yun Luo and An Chu regretfully missing St. Peter's Basilica. Cry. Follow the map, listen to the guide, and start a journey of treasure! The first thing that catches your eye is the dense crowd. But by the way, it is impossible for you to count on opening a special session for you in such a famous museum. Follow it!

First of all, there is the Egyptian Pavilion. The relationship between Rome and Egypt is inextricably linked. Not to mention anything else, just talk about Caesar and Cleopatra. I guess there are not many who don’t know about it, hehe. Yun Luo actually likes this museum very much because the cultural relics on display are authentic antiques, and they are made from thousands of BC. I have a special preference for such ancient things.

Especially inscriptions and seal carvings, in the Shaanxi History Museum, I stared at the inscriptions on the bronze tripods thousands of years ago, as if a craftsman was right in front of me, and I felt like traveling through history in an instant. The charm of Egypt is that its civilization is the oldest recorded history of mankind. The cultural relics on display here are snatched, dug out, and gifted.

They are all real things. There is a red number icon next to the more important exhibits. Enter the numbers on the guide to listen to the explanation. It is very detailed, and you usually change the next one if you can't finish listening. Behind is the Caesars Hall, a sculpture gallery, which is very spectacular, and the most top-notch sculpture works are preserved.

Outside is the very famous Pinecone Square, famous for a huge bronze pinecone sculpture and the fountain in front. The Pinecone Fountain was originally in the Pantheon. It moved to its current location in 1608. The bronze peacocks on both sides of the fountain are replicas of the tomb of Emperor Hadrian (now the Castle of the Holy Angels) (the authentic ones are also stored in the museum).

There is also a giant avatar sculpture of Augustus (Octavian, the founding emperor of the Roman Empire). Following the crowds of people into the corridor, the most exciting part kicked off. Because there were too many tourists visiting, they drove slowly and were in a dilemma. Basically, they were squeezed in the middle and moved all the way. Because the temptation and expectations of the end of the Sistine Chapel are too strong.

Although the exhibition hall in front is not amazing, it almost all became "appetizers", which makes people swallow it hastily and don't have time to chew it carefully. It includes a map museum, a tapestry hall, etc. The most amazing thing is the gorgeous mural on the ceiling. Almost all the way is the neck tilted, and it is a good way to treat cervical spondylosis.

The photos taken indoors are not outstanding, especially the SLRs that An Chu met. When the lights were dim, they were all empty. I was speechless and was scolded by Yun Luo when I came back. However, no matter how beautiful the photos were, they could not reproduce the shock of being immersive. Of course, too many people did indeed devastating many scenery. If you savor it quietly alone, what kind of paradise would it be!

Before entering the last Sistine Chapel, there is an outdoor passage with a nice view. An Chuyu said that the square below is the filming location of "Angels and the Devil" and other movies. Yunluo seemed to have no impression of it. The Sistine Chapel passed by Raphael's room in front of him. At first, Yunluo thought that Raphael had lived in.

Later I realized that he could not enjoy this courtesy. Even if the artist is famous, he is still a craftsman and an employee of the Holy See, a merchant. The so-called Raphael Room is a few rooms that Raphael was commissioned by the Pope. Most of them were his works, and some of them were his students.

Since Yun Luo and An Chuyu went all in Sistine, they didn't pay attention to the famous "Academy of Athens" here! I remembered it later. However, Raphael's style is relatively simple. I personally think that these works are actually very similar. The so-called masterpieces are just named by later generations, and they can be with geniuses like Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci.

The all-rounder, even Yunluo, believed that he was a manic man and was called the Three Renaissance Masters. Raphael didn't know if he would feel guilty in his heart. You should know that the titles of the other two include sculptors, architects, even poets, and inventors. Of course, Raphael's handsome appearance should add a lot of points to him.

Yunluo felt that Raphael's painting style could be basically summarized by clean, beautiful, and numerous characters. From the perspective of painting alone, it should be impeccable. Finally, I saw a Van Gogh's work in a very inconspicuous aisle, and it fell into an unwelcome position among the surging crowds. Finally, the Sistine Chapel.

When you enter the door, you will see a crowd of black people densely populated throughout the chapel. There is a row of seats beside the wall for tourists to stop and watch. The edge of the chapel is barely retained with the security guards to satisfy the mobility of tourists, but few tourists go straight to the exit, and most of them are reluctant to leave.

Yunluo and An Chuyu walked to the edge of the corner of the wall, and while listening to the commentary, he raised his neck. Later, he found a seat and liberated the soles of his feet that were already sore. How to describe this room? In addition to the greatness and incredibleness at the technical level, Yunluo actually wanted to say more about it.

Before the trip, Yun Luo read the Bible story. He roughly understood the contents of Miye’s dome work "Genesis" and the mural "The Last Judgment", both took 4-5 years to complete. Michelangelo wrote in his diary that he painted on the tripod day and night, and except for the Pope himself, no one was allowed to visit, and paint dripped on his face.

The neck and spine all changed shape, and the creation used the extremely difficult "wet mural" form, that is, when the mud and mud are wet, they were painted in color. After the mud and mud were dry, the murals would not be damaged for a long time and had extremely high requirements for the painter. Michelangelo himself once claimed to be a "sculptor" and tried to reject this commission under the pretext of lacking experience in painting, especially murals.

At the beginning, the theme that the Pope expected was the Twelve Disciples of Jesus. Michelangelo later used his thorough understanding of the Bible to expose a more magnificent view. Yunluo felt that successful artists, even successful people in various fields, were mostly paranoid, and if they didn't do it, they would have done it.

If you do it, you must be the ultimate. This is not only an explanation to others, but also a defense of personal honor. Yun Luo is deeply moved by this spirit, and such treasures are left for future generations to admire. They must also look down at their works in paradise with relief. Photography is strictly prohibited in the Sistine Chapel, so let’s take a screenshot online.

(The first one is the picture you see when you look up at the dome. The nine rectangular figures in the middle are "Genesis", each three are in a group. They express the plot of the first chapter of the Old Testament, and the second one is the mural work "The Last Judgment". In the sky, it roughly means to promote the promotion of people doing good deeds and ascend to heaven after death.

The cause and effect of committing evil into the earth. All the characters are in the form of a sacred body. Later, the Pope believed that it had blasphemed the gods and ordered a painter to add a shame stick to all characters. Yun Luo thought that if he could use his works on Mi Ye’s masterpiece, this person was also a blessing in his previous life^_^). In short, this place and this works will live up to its name.

After leaving the Sistine Chapel, my mood couldn't calm down for a long time. There were some scattered works of art behind, and a particularly favorite stained glass was placed. Many cathedrals behind had such painted glass, which was suffocating. The rotating steps at the exit were also very famous, especially the reliefs at the edges, which were very beautiful.

I had some fast food in the cafeteria of the Vatican Museum and set out to St. Peter's Square, where I went to the first stop in the morning. After leaving the museum, I saw the people queuing up and still couldn't see the end of the rhythm. I once again sighed how worth the 4-Euro reservation fee! However, the bad news came soon. That was that St. Peter's Basilica was closed in the afternoon and Mass was held!

It was a bolt from the blue. Yunluo and An Chuyu still persisted in rushing to the fence to ask, but the cold answers they got were not opened until the afternoon. It was indeed a pity to not have the opportunity to see the style of the world's largest church, especially the famous work of Michelangelo, which the star-chasing tribes were eagerly looking forward to seeing, the sculpture "Percy of the Mother".

Yun Luo fell in love with it at the first glance when I saw it online. Of course, the entire Baroque style hall is undoubtedly a masterpiece in the world, unique. But this trip happened to Easter, which is God's will, and it is also a reason to give Yun Luo a next time. Yun Luo and An Chuyu began to walk in St. Peter's Square, which is also a masterpiece.

St. Peter's Square can accommodate 500,000 people. It is the place where the Holy See holds large-scale religious activities. The Pope will give a speech here every week. The construction of the square took eleven years (1656-1667), and the world-renowned architect Bernini personally supervised the construction of the project. There are 4 columns around the square, with 284 cylinders in total, and above the cylinders are 140 statues of saints.

The center is a huge cylinder (25.5 meters high and weighs 320 tons) transported from Egypt in 40 AD. This afternoon, I saw that the center of the square had begun to be arranged and many seats were placed, which should be prepared for tomorrow's Easter event. By the way, the dome was designed by the architect Michelangelo when he was in his 80s.

Alas, I was convinced by this old man. The balcony with the red curtains was where the Pope appeared. Later, I found out that on Easter on April 5, the Pope delivered a speech here to pray for the world. I was unable to visit the St. Peter's Cathedral, so I walked along the Vatican walls to St. Angel Castle, which was very close to the foot.

The Castle of Sant'angels looks very old. It was a tomb built by the Roman emperor Hardren for himself and his descendants in 139 AD. In the 6th century, Pope Gregory I erected an archangel statue with a sword on the top of the castle to fight against the popular Black Death. Therefore, it was named the Castle of Sant'angels. It mainly collects weapons and other military items from the Roman period.

I was not very interested and didn't go in and see it. The ramapass could have been used here once. The Santa Angel Bridge was designed by the master Benini, with twelve angel statues on it, which was very beautiful. After walking through the Santa Angel Bridge, you will come to the city of Rome. The next Piazza Navona, Pantheon and other attractions are almost on the same line, and you can all reach it on foot.

It would be nice if the city is small! Piazza Navona was an arena in ancient Rome, built by Emperor Tumishan in 86 AD. It was transformed into a beautiful Baroque square during the Renaissance. The most famous ones are the two eye-catching fountains designed by Bernini: the Morro Fountain at the southern end of the square and the Four Rivers Fountain in the center.

The sculptures in the fountain of the Four Rivers symbolize the four paradise rivers (Danube, Nile, Prat and Ganges) and the four corners of the known world (Asia, Africa, Europe and America). The center is an Egyptian obelisk. The obelisk is a monument to the worship of the sun in ancient Egypt. There are 29 obelisks from ancient Egypt all over the world.

Among them, there are 9 obelisks in Egypt. Italy has 11 Egyptian obelisks. It is the most common in the world. Most of them were transported from Egypt to the Roman Empire during the ancient Roman period. They are currently stored in Piazza San Peter, in front of the Pantheon, Piazza Navona, Piazza Spain, Florence's **li Garden.

This was published by Baidu Encyclopedia. In the past, I only heard that there is an obelisk square in the French Plaza de Concorde, which was given by the Egyptian people to express their friendship, and it felt very tall and noble. This time I found that the Roman people were not very good at all. So the glory of several popular attractions completely covered the obelisk, almost making people forget this great Egyptian cultural relics.

I actually think this square is average, but the church opposite is very stunning. I just turned away from St. Peter's Church and was in a bad mood. Seeing that the appearance of this church was not outstanding, I thought of going in and taking a look, but as soon as I entered the door, I became blind. Perhaps it was because Yun Luo and An Chuyu did not go to become St. Peter.

Perhaps because this is the first church that Yun Luo and An Chu came into this trip, in short, the baroque shine and gorgeousness feel like this, and in an instant, people can truly amaze people. The church is called the Church of St. Egnes (santagne inagone). The front is designed by Poromini, the opponent of the famous Baroque architect, Bernini.

It was built on a tomb of the Holy Maiden. She was only 13 years old and was martyred because she refused to marry a pagan. She continued to move forward and soon came to the Pantheon, which was solemn and graceful. The Pantheon is the only Roman Empire building that has been preserved to this day. It was built in 27-25 BC.

It was built by Agripa, son-in-law of Octavian, the first emperor of the Roman Empire, to worship the gods on Mount Olympia. It can be described as a classic building from the Augustus period. The fire in 80 AD destroyed most of the Pantheon, leaving only a rectangular colonnade with 16 granite stone pillars 12.5 meters high. This part was used as the porch of the Pantheon that was later rebuilt.

The porch is engraved with monumental texts from the initial construction period, and the eight huge columns on the front of the porch can still be seen. Before the dome of the Church of Santa Maria descent in Florence, the dome of the Pantheon was always the largest unsupported dome in the world, and the dome designer of the Church of Santa Maria descent drew experience from the ancients here.

A great feat of the Renaissance was completed. A singer in front of the Pantheon was singing Italian opera, attracting everyone to watch. Along the way, he met many street artists, playing, painting and singing, which made people fall in love with them. Italy is truly a hometown of literature and art. Sitting in the Pantheon looking up at the dome, I couldn't help but sigh at the wisdom and powerful belief of the ancients.

After leaving the Pantheon, the planned itinerary was basically over. Because it was not seen as St. Peter's Church, it saved a lot of time. There was no subway station near the Pantheon, so Yunluo and An Chuyu made full use of Ovi navigation and romapass, found a nearby bus stop, and prepared to take the bus to return to the hotel.
Chapter completed!
