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.

This is a must to visit. Many things in Rome cost to see, but not this. And the really neat thing is that it was commissioned to Michelangelo. There is something about seeing things that are still intact after 500+ years of existence. It is a beautiful piece. Wonderfully crafted by a master and his helpers.

One of many great treasures of Rome. I like the nativity scene too. The organ can be play for €1 donation. Opens at 15:00p.m

Very beautiful statute in a very beautiful church. Michelangelo is one of the greatest artists of all time and the statue of Moses is world renowned, it is definitely worth seeing. It’s a very impressive piece of art, the sculpture is quite big, much more impressive than I imaged. I enjoyed the time I spent here, it’s definitely a very unique church that houses this fantastic piece of art. I would definitely recommend visiting this Church.

One of Rome’s hidden treasures. It took Sigmund Freud 30 pages to describe this master work. You should take at least 30 minutes to see why. Maybe even read those 30 pages…

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.

I was lucky that there was a concert happening on the day I went. It’s amazing! Now let’s go see the sculpture of Mose. It was a work of Michelangelo Buonarroti and commissioned by Pope Julus II to build his burial monument in 1505, but the work only began in 1544. In this statue, Moses has horns! Sigmund Freud's once described The Moses of Michelangelo as: The Moses of Michelangelo is represented as seated; his body faces forward, his head with its mighty beard looks to the left, his right foot rests on the ground, and his left leg is raised so that only the toes touch the ground. His right arm links the Tables of the Law with something that looks like a book in the right palm of his hand with a portion of his beard; his left arm lies in his lap. The emotion on Moses' face is described as “awe at being face to face with the creator."

Amazing, free, and not crowded. The basilica itself is worth seeing but the Moses is beyond words. He is enormous and looks like he will stand at any moment. Saint Peter's chains are incredible to see also.

From 1545, in the right transept of the church you can admire one of the masterpieces of the sixteenth century: Michelangelo's Moses. The colossal statue carved in 1513 to adorn the tomb that Julius II had commissioned to Michelangelo, was not completed until the death of the pope, who is in fact buried in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican. The work inspired by Raphael and Donatello, depicts a majestic Moses sitting with the Tablets of the Law under his arm, while his other hand fondles his long beard, which according to Vasari was carved with such perfection that it seems more a "work of brush than chisel". The moment represented by Michelangelo is the one which follows the delivery of the Commandments on Mount Sinai, when Moses finds the Israelites intent in worshiping a golden calf, a sign of worship of other gods. Moses is angry and seems to be on the verge of getting up and destroying everything. An anger which is perfectly expressed by the swollen veins and tensed muscles that appear to give life to the marble.

Not to be missed! A beautiful creation. Really close to Coliseum.

Moses (Italian: Mosè [moˈzɛ]; c. 1513–1515) is a sculpture by the Italian High Renaissance artist Michelangelo Buonarroti, housed in the church of San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome. Commissioned in 1505 by Pope Julius II for his tomb, it depicts the biblical figure Moses with horns on his head, based on a description in chapter 34 of Exodus in the Vulgate, the Latin translation of the Bible used at that time.

I love the Cathedral of St Peter in Vincoli. Aside from the resting place of one of the most famous Popes in history, it also houses one of the most important religious relics of the Chains of St Peter, as well as Michaelangelo's Moses Do check it out they charge nothing to go inside and for all it houses it is very much worth the trip! I recommend it and will go again!

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.

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

The church is quite unassuming from the outside and there weren't many people inside. The statue is amazing! Even though you can't view it from up close, the attention to details is unbelievable! Highly recommend

The statue of Moses is in a gorgeous cathedral. They have very informative plaques in multiple languages telling about the history and restoration of the statue. My favorite factoid was how they put artificial light sources in the room so the statue can be viewed by modern day people the way Michelangelo designed the statue to be viewed!

Located in San Pietro in Vincoli (St Peter in Chains church). Another masterpiece sculpture by Michelangelo Buonarroti. Very close to the Colosseum if you want to catch 2 birds with a stone. After have a stroll through the very characteristic Rione Monti boasting with restaurants and lovely views.

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.

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 :(

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

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.

Who would have known that like Michelangelo statue was in this very unassuming basilica? We were also told that Moses originally was carved facing forward but after receiving some negative comments, Michelangelo was able to recarve it so that he was looking to the side.

I finally managed to reach this masterpiece by Michelangelo. A marble structure as breathtaking as the entire church within which it stands. Free entrance. The church is reached by climbing a long staircase from Via Cavour.

Again beautiful but wouldn't have known much about it as the outside of the church is undistinguished

Saint Peter in chains was a beautiful and peaceful church. What a wonderful sculpture of Moses by Michaelangelo. Would visit again each time I am in Rome.

This sculpture of Moses was done by Michelangelo. It is located in the Basilica of St. Peter in chains which hold the chains of St. Peter. Beautiful church near the Colloseo

A marvelous experience, that will transport you to another era. It has an intelligent system of lights that will imitate the shadows that are expected on the sculpture during all the periods of the day in cycles of 3 minutes.
