top choice #2...the vatican museums...the raphael studios...

the pictorial decor in the raphael studios was carried out by raphael and his school in the years 1508 - 1524...

they form 4 rooms known as the Stanze of Raphael, which are part of the apartment on the 2nd floor of the Pontifical Palace chosen by Julius II della Rovere as his own residence...

...running from east to west, as a visitor would have entered the apartment, but not following the sequence in which the stanze were frescoed, the rooms are the Sala di Costantino ("Hall of Constantine"), the Stanza di Eliodoro ("Room of Heliodorus"), the Stanza della Segnatura ("Room of the Signatura") and the Stanza dell'incendio del Borgo ("The Room of the Fire in the Borgo")...
