Best chapels to visit worldwide

A chapel can be a room inside a palace, a burial place built for a dynasty or a tiny building on a hillside, and some of the most famous art in Europe is painted on chapel walls. The Sistine Chapel is seen only as part of the Vatican Museums ticket; the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris is a glass box of thirteenth-century stained glass; Giotto’s Scrovegni Chapel in Padua admits small groups for a short, timed visit; the Palatine Chapel in Palermo sits inside the Norman Palace; the Royal Chapel of Granada holds the tombs of Ferdinand and Isabella; and the Medici Chapels in Florence hold Michelangelo’s sculptures.
