8 Stop 8 of 9 on Centro Storico Greatest Hits

The Spanish Steps

Centro Storico, Rome

A Preview

"In front of you sweep the Spanish Steps — a hundred and thirty-five stone steps climbing in grand curves up to a church at the top. It's one of the most photographed staircases in the world. And almost nothing about the name is accurate. The steps aren't Spanish. They were paid for with French money — a bequest left by a French diplomat."
