Holy Year at the Palazzo della Cancelleria

Although Palazzo della Cancelleria is in the city centre it is still Vatican territory, as these two concurrent Holy Year exhibitions testify. The first is devoted to Codex B and other priceless manuscripts from Vatican and foreign libraries which document the translation and the spread of the Gospels in the first centuries of Christianity. The second, entitled 'History, Religion and Memory', recreates the political and spiritual climate of the years of the Church, through the display of over 150 archaeological treasures.
