The Famous Spanish Steps (Scalinata della Trinatá dei Monti) Rome

The stairway was built in in 1723–1725 and has 138 steps. The Spanish Steps have been a magnet for foreigners since the 18th century. In the late 1700s the area was much loved by English visitors on the Grand Tour. The square (piazza) by the stairs (Piazza di Spagna) was named after the Spanish Embassy nearby.
