Figures

Gods and people named with this place — as its founders, or in their own records.
What this means
Founders are named by this place's own record, and a founding is an attribution, often contested. The rest are read from the other end, computed from their records rather than this one. Being named with a place is not being documented there in any given year.

Sixtus IVNamed as founder pope of the Catholic Church from 1471 to 1484 (1414-1484)
Site history & evidence
What is documented here
Each kind of evidence on its own row, because they do not add up.
| Evidence | On record | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| Site date | Dated from 1473 CE On the timeline | A date for the site as recorded — not the start of worship, and not a floor on the tradition here. |
| Location | Recorded to the site On the atlas | A coordinate for the place. It locates the site; it does not draw its extent. |
| Dated activity | 1492 papal conclave, 1513 papal conclave, 1534 papal conclave, 1878 papal conclave, 1903 conclave, 1914 conclave, 1922 conclave, 1939 conclave, 1958 conclave, 1963 conclave, 2025 conclave, April 1555 papal conclave, August 1978 conclave, October 1503 papal conclave, October 1978 conclave, September 1503 papal conclave | A pin is a place, not an event: each is a record of its own, with its own dates, located here by that record. |

What this means
Computed from coordinates, not stated by any source. Nearness is geometry, not a connection: two sites a kilometre apart may never have shared a worshipper, a tradition or a century. Where either coordinate is recorded only to a district, the distance is rounded and says “about”.

How Sistine Chapel connects
Grouped by the kind of relationship, because a successor is not a son and a shared symbol is not an influence.
