STORYLINE:
The Vatican Museums’ Borgia Apartment hosted cardinals taking part in the conclave to elect the new pope for a century before they moved to the Domus Santa Marta hotel in 2005.
The first conclave held under Michelangelo’s frescoed ceiling in the Sistine Chapel was in 1492.
But it was only in 1878 that the world-renowned chapel became the permanent venue of all conclaves.
From 1878 until the two conclaves of 1978 – the last of which elected Cardinal Karol Wojtyla as Pope John Paul II – the cardinals all gathered in the Borgia Apartment, sharing bedrooms, a kitchen and even bathrooms.
Until 1978, the cardinals who took part in the conclave slept under the frescoed ceilings painted by the 15th-century Italian artist Pinturicchio, who frescoed the Borgia Apartment between 1492 and 1494.
