Stairway to Heaven
The set of 124 marble steps (122 if you start on the right side) was built by Simeone Andreozzi. It is thought that the steps were taken from the Quirinal Hill, where they led to Emperor Aurelian's Temple of Sol Invictus (Temple of the Unconquered Sun). The staircase is often called 'Stairway to heaven' since it leads to the Altar of Heaven.
