This cenotaph is the Tomb of Pope Julius II, an architectural and sculptural marvel, even in its reduced form, by Michelangelo Buonarroti. It is in the basilica of San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome. Pope Julius II commissioned Michelangelo to design his tomb in 1505, but the work was several times postponed; there were six projects, and did not begin until 1542. It took till 1545, more than forty years to be completed. Pope Julius II died on 21 February 1513.
