You're standing by the Apostolic Palace in Vatican City. Behind these walls are four rooms you can't see from outside, yet they're among the most famous in the world: the Raphael Rooms, or Stanze di Raffaello. They're on the second floor, on the south side of the Belvedere Courtyard, and today they're part of the Vatican Museums.
