About 30 murals painted by students and project members were brought together to create a single work in the coastal town of Cascais.
The ceiling and walls of the room where Pope Francis spoke to students, where the mural ends, are painted with human figures floating in space.
“You painted your own Sistine Chapel,” said Pope Francis.
The 86-year-old Pope was given an artist's paintbrush attached to a virtual reality device that allows students at a school in Mozambique to see his drawings.
The first attempt did not go well. The Pope, looking a little confused, tried a second time and managed to draw a green line in the shape of a semi-elliptical dome...
The Sistine Chapel in the Vatican is named after Pope Sixtus IV, who had it built between 1473 and 1481. Michelangelo painted the chapel's ceiling for Pope Julius II between 1508 and 1512.

Pope Francis, in Lisbon for a global meeting of young Catholics, told students not to be afraid to seize life's opportunities and help the oppressed.
“Sometimes in life you have to get your hands dirty to keep your soul clean,” he told the students, who included non-believers.
On the evening of August 3, Pope Francis gave a speech to hundreds of thousands of young Catholics from around the world who came to the Portuguese capital to attend the World Youth Day festival.
