Founded by Pope Julius in the 16th century, the Vatican Museums consist of several different pontifical galleries that house the art that the Roman Catholic Church has acquired since 1506. Giuseppe Momo was commissioned by Pope Pius XI to create a central staircase that connected all of the different galleries.
More than 4 million people flock to the Vatican Museums every year, making this one of the most visited spiral staircases in the world.
