Need an research paper on the significance of main religious buildings. Needs to be 5 pages. Please no plagiarism. The Sistine Chapel is of great importance for the Christians as it is the home of the Pope in Vatican City. Known for its architectural designs and decoration done by the Renaissance artists such as Pietro Perugino, Sandro Botticelli, Michelangelo and Pinturicchio the chapel has been a place for functionary papal happenings and religious endeavors. It is also the venue where the new Pope is chosen. The Sistine Chapel is also famed for Papal Conclaves. When a conclave takes place, a chimney is fitted in the chapel’s roof for signaling with smoke. When white smoke is seen rising from the chimney, it is a sign that a new pope has been selected. The smoke results when the ballots are burned. If a candidate has gotten less than two-thirds of the vote the smoke is made black by adding chemicals to the burning ballots. a sign that no result has been established. A conclave is also a place where the pope can hear the masses. The internal measurements of the chapel are the same as those of the Temple of Solomon as mentioned in the Old Testament (Campbell, 5) The artist Michelangelo was commissioned to paint the ceiling of the chapel which he did with various paintings such as ancestors of Christ, Jonah, nine stories from Book of Genesis and 300 scenes from the Bible. The figures showed the Hand of God, Adam and Eve, the Great Flood, the Last Judgment and so many more. The paintings, the interior, exterior and the entire place, reflect the essence of the religion and when there one can really feel the divine presence.

The last architecture that I would like to discuss is the Old-New Synagogue built in Prague. It is the oldest synagogue to have survived. Before I talk about it, I would like to mention a few things about these religious buildings. Synagogues do not have any specific architectural features and you will not find any synagogue that will reflect any exclusive Jew-related style.
