Just walk in and enjoy the view. We had no line or so whatever and took our time inspecting this price of art. Would recommend a little bit of research beforehand for getting a better understanding of the overall approach of Michelangelo.

A masterwork from the mind of Michelangelo. The work depicts the moment Moses descends the mountain where god imparts the second set of commandments on the stone tablets. The tension and the passions are captured within the stone in a way that transcends the medium. Two examples of religious devotion accompany Moses, being represented by two women; the left woman being the contemplative life and the right being the life of pious action. If you're insterested in art or specifically in Michelangelo, this work is not to be missed.

Thrilling to see this much talked about statue of Moses by Michelangelo. Michelangelo's misinterpertation of the Hebrew word for "aura" resulted in the infamous horns :(

This often overlooked Michelangelo sculpture is magnificent. You can easily get up to the railing for a closer look. Don’t forget to see Peter’s chains from his imprisonment in Jerusalem

Beautiful church! The sculpture is so detailed. It is amazing to just pause and look at.

Beautiful grand hall full of big paintings and the chains of Petrus under the altare. The painting of the ceiling is massive and very colourful. The Statue of Mode from Michelangelo is now over 500years old and still looks stunning! IT pictures the Moment where He came down from the mountain of Sinai with the 10 commandments and sees the pilgrims honouring a golden Statue.

We came upon this place by chance. It was one of our best surprise in Rome. The painting and sculptures were beautiful and the energy of the place was one of calm, peace and relaxation. It is close to the collossium not too far a walk. If enter via Cavour there are many steps to climb so be mindful.

Less well known than some of the more popular sites in Rome but no less impressive, Mose Di Michaelangelo is an exquisite monument featuring the sculpture of Moses as imagined with "horns". It's not very crowded so it'll definitely let you take the time to appreciate the artistry.
