Cappella Paolina

The Pauline Chapel is a Renaissance chapel located in the Vatican Palace in Rome. It is named after Pope Paul III, who had it built between 1537 and 1539. Two large frescoes by Michelangelo, dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, adorn its side walls. The chapel's architect, Antonio da Sangallo the Younger, built it on the foundations of an earlier chapel, the "cappella parva", which housed the exposition of the Blessed Sacrament. Since the "cappella magna (future Sistine Chapel) fell into ruin in the mid-15th century, the "cappella parva" has been used for conclaves.
