St. Martha's House:
During conclave, cardinals stay at the Vatican guest house and are not permitted to have contact with outsiders as they go to and from the Sistine Chapel.
St. Peter's Square:
Opened in 1667, the square was designed by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, who created most of the interior embellishments within St. Peter's Basillica.
St. Peter's Basillica:
When the new pope has been chosen, he is introduced to the crowds from the balcony overlooking St. Peter's Square.
Sistine Chapel:
Before the voting, anyone who is not connected with the conclave is ordered out. Then the cardinals, bound by oaths of secrecy, deliberate under the majesty of Micelangelo's painted ceiling and The Last Judgement.
Papal Apartment:
The new pope will move into a residence overlooking St. Peter's Square.
