The Spanish Steps

The Spanish Steps in Rome was built in Rococo style between 1723 and 1726. There are 135 steps and three different terraces, referring to the Holy Trinity (the Trinità). The top of the stairs near the Egyptian obelisk offers a beautiful view, albeit one shared with throngs of other tourists. The name can be a bit confusing, as construction of the Spanish Steps was actually commissioned by the French.

In Spanish Steps, you'll see one area so filled with things to do that it's hard to read the street names. This is the Centro Storico, the historic center of Rome, with so many art-filled churches, and lively squares that you could spend your whole vacation strolling its ancient streets and lanes. You can pause at the Spanish Steps, the flight of irregular stairs and landings that lead up to the church of Trinità. The stairs take their name from Piazza di Spagna, the plaza at their base and one of Rome's most typical squares.
