| |
| The '''Cappella Sistina''', or '''Sistine Chapel''', was the chapel of the [[Papacy|Pope]] in [[Rome]], and center of the [[wikipedia:Catholic Church|Catholic faith]] and [[Papacy]].

| | |
| ==History==
| |
| ===Conception===
| |
| Inspired by the architecture of [[Solomon's Temple]], the Sistine Chapel is the most famous room in the {{wiki|Apostolic Palace}}, the official residence of the Pope.<ref name="ac2"/>
| |
| | |
| As the Pope's personal chapel, mass is frequently held inside, as are the [[wikipedia:Papal conclave|Papal Conclaves]], which occur after the Pope's death. The [[cardinals]] are locked inside the chapel and are not permitted to leave until a new Pope is elected.<ref name="ac2"/>
| |
| | |
| ===Renaissance===
| |
| In 1492, [[Rodrigo Borgia]] became Pope Alexander IV, and moved into [[Basilica di San Pietro|St. Peter's Basilica]], of which the Sistine Chapel is a part. Seven years later, in 1499, [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] infiltrated the chapel in order to assassinate Rodrigo Borgia and locate the [[Vatican Vault|Vault]], which he had learned was built beneath the Basilica.<ref name="ac2"/>
| |
| | |
| After a brutal fight with Rodrigo in which two [[Pieces of Eden]] were used, Ezio was tricked and stabbed by Rodrigo (who had used the Staff's power to immobilize Ezio), before promptly becoming unconscious.<ref name="ac2"/>
| |
| | |
| Upon waking, Ezio pressed two hidden buttons at the back of the Chapel that opened the way into the Vault, a structure built by members of the [[First Civilization]], whose entrance lay in a pit-like enclosure. It was at this entrance that Ezio would confront Rodrigo in a final, victorious fight.<ref name="ac2">''[[Assassin's Creed II]]''</ref> Soon after he left the Vault, [[Mario Auditore|Mario]] appeared and beckoned him to leave the Capella, which Ezio did.<ref name="acBrotherhood">''[[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood]]''</ref>
