ffices of various functions as well as administrative offices not focused on the life and functions of the pope himself sistine chapel edit main article sistine chapel under the patronage of julius ii michelangelo painted the chapel ceiling between 1508 and 1512 perhaps the best known of the palace chapels is the sistine chapel named in honor of sixtus iv francesco della rovere it is famous for its decoration that was frescoed throughout by renaissance artists including michelangelo sandro botticelli pietro perugino pinturicchio domenico ghirlandaio and others 9 10 11 one of the primary functions of the chapel is as a venue for the election of each successive pope in a conclave of the college of cardinals 12 in this closed door election the cardinals choose a successor to the apostle and traditional first pope peter who is according to tradition buried in the crypts of nearby st peter s basilica raphael rooms edit main article raphael rooms the stanza della segnatura this suite of rooms is famous for its frescos by a large team of artists working under raphael they were originally intended as a suite of apartments for pope julius ii he commissioned raphael then a relatively young artist from urbino and his studio in 1508 or 1509 to redecorate the existing interiors of the rooms entirely 13 it was possibly julius intent to outshine the apartments of his predecessor and rival pope alexander vi as the stanze are directly above alexander s borgia apartments they are on the second floor overlooking the south side of the belvedere courtyard from east to west as a visitor would have entered the apartment but reversing the sequence in which the stanze were frescoed and also the route of the modern visitor the rooms are the sala di constantino hall of constantine the stanza di eliodoro room of heliodorus the stanza della segnatura the earliest and the most admired room of the signature and the stanza dell incendio del borgo the room of the fire in the borgo after the death of julius in 1513 with two rooms frescoed pope leo x continued the program following raphael s death in 1520 his assistants gianfrancesco penni giulio romano and raffaellino del colle finished the project with the frescoes in the sala di costantino 14 borgia apartments edit main article borgia apartments the borgia apartments is a suite of rooms in the palace adapted for personal use by pope alexander vi rodrigo de borja he commissioned the italian painter pinturicchio to lavishly decorate the apartments with frescoes 15 the paintings and frescoes which were executed between 1492 and 1494 drew on a complex iconographic program that used themes from medieval encyclopedias adding an eschatological layer of meaning and celebrating the supposedly divine origins of the borgias 16 the rooms are variously considered a part of the vatican library and vatican museums some of the rooms are now used for the vatican collection of modern religious art inaugurated by pope paul vi in 1973 17 a permanent contemporary art gallery was installed on the premises in november 2021 18 papal apartments edit main article papal apartments sala regia at the end of the hall is the entrance to the pauline chapel since the 17th century the papal apartments have been the official residence of the pope they occupy much of the top floor of the apostolic palace 19 with the exception of pope francis who took up residence in the domus sanctae marthae all reigning popes have resided in the palace since the move from the quirinal palace in 1870 on 14 march 2026 pope leo xiv took up residence in the apartments following the completion of renovation works 20 21 clementine hall edit main article clementine hall the clementine hall was established in the 16th century by pope clement viii in honor of pope clement i the third pope like other chapels and apartments in the palace the hall is notable for its large collection of frescos and other art loggias edit main article vatican loggias the loggias are corridors designed by donato bramante and decorated by raphael with frescoes which depict 52 biblical events divided into bays in groups of four they served as inspiration to italian architect giacomo quarenghi while working on the raphael loggias in the hermitage museum gallery edit the papal apartments seen from st peter s square apostolic palace from st peter s square scala
