Vatican City - The Vatican says the restoration of a chapel that includes two Michelangelo frescoes has been completed.
The Cappella Paolina, or the Pauline Chapel, in the Apostolic Palace is used by the pope and is not open to the general public.
It contains Michelangelo frescoes depicting the Conversion of St. Paul and the Crucifixion of St. Peter.
Officials said Tuesday that the five-year euro3.2 million ($4.5 million) restoration was privately funded.
Pope Benedict XVI will inaugurate the restored chapel with a prayer service Saturday.
