Yes, Pope Julius II died on February 21, 1513, before the Sistine Chapel was fully completed. While he commissioned the chapel and the famous ceiling frescoes painted by Michelangelo, the ceiling was not finished until 1512, shortly before his death. The chapel itself was consecrated in 1483, but the extensive artistic work continued well after Julius II's passing.

The Sistine Chapel is not the largest chapel in the world; that title is often attributed to the Chapel of St. Basil in Moscow or other larger chapels. The Sistine Chapel, located in Vatican City, is renowned for its stunning frescoes by Michelangelo, particularly the ceiling and "The Last Judgment." While it holds significant historical and artistic value, its size is relatively modest compared to other chapels globally.
