The Sistine Chapel is ... priceless. No amount of money in the world could replace the existing artwork on the ceiling if the building were destroyed.
While certainly considered priceless by the Catholic Congregation..... there IS a monetary value associated with it, because it cost money to build, to furnish, and to maintain. I am positive that at some level within the Catholic Church, someone can assign a monetary value to the Sistine Chapel, as well as all other buildings, statues, etc. inside the Vatican walls.

What painting was better the mona Lisa or the the Sistine Chapel?
Michaelangelo's Sistine Chapel is a greater achievement, but the Mona Lisa by Da Vinci is much more widely known and often considered the most famous artwork in history, whereas Michaelangelo's David is more successful than the Sistine Chapel. But this really something that can only be decided by your own opinion. For me, it's the Sistine Chapel.

Sistine Chapel is actually quite small, it is after all a chapel. It measures 40.9 meters (134 ft) long by 13.4 meters (44 ft) wide and constitutes a negligible percentage of the Vatican's total area.
How is the Sistine Chapel different from other churches?
The Sistine Chapel ceiling and one wall were painted by Michelangelo. His frescoes have become popular modern prints, the unbelievably beautiful touching of hands or giving life. It is the only chapel that took so many years to complete, and restored about 6 years ago or so, and interestingly enough, when the grime was removed, one of the angels who was sent into hell had serpents wrapped around his torso and finally holding on for dear life to his private part. I found this interesting that the artist would give that sort of punishment, especially when the Pope had problems with the nudity in the beginning of the chapel painting. The Sistine Chapel is also different from other churches because it is where the Cardinals have always met to select a new Pope. The Chapel is also located in St. Peter's Basilica, Vatican, Rome, Italy.
What are facts about the Sistine chapel?
The Sistine Chapel is part of the set of buildings known as the Apostolic Palace, the residence of the Pope. Construction started in 1473 and completed in 1481. There has been much restoration work done on it over the years. The walls and decorations have been frescoed throughout by the greatest Renaissance artists, the most famous is the ceiling by Michelangelo. Michelangelo painted 12,000 square feet (1,100 m2) of the chapel ceiling between 1508 and 1512. In a recent renovation, a controversial decision was made to remove all previous restorations, and simply enhance the original painting. It was completed in 1994.

Michelangelo did do the dome, but Bermini did the colonade ( 284 columns and 140 statues) and much of the intererior.
