Cappella Sistina

Savona


Dating from the 1480s, Savona's Sistine Chapel (like the one in Rome) was created by Pope Sixtus IV. Though far less famous than its Roman counterpoint, this site – a funerary chapel for Sixtus' deceased parents – is a striking work of art. It's well worth seeing if you happen to be around the one day a week it's open.
