Santa Maria in Aracoeli

The stairs leading up to Santa Maria in Aracoeli, a minor basilica in Rome. The stairs are especially hard to get up but it's so to make the penitents work for their repentance.

 

This is also of interest for Assassin's Creed players. This is the church where Desmond and company find themselves in at the end of "Brotherhood". In the game they go down into the hill into an old temple of Juno. In fact the church was built upon the remains of an old temple of Juno.

 

Part of the "Rome 2012" set.
