The Fontana della Barcaccia and the Spanish Steps in Rome
Photo: jon_chica, Adobe Stock

Every year, countless tourists climb the 136 steps of the famous Grand Staircase in the centre of Rome.

The Spanish Steps were built until 1725 and connect the Piazza di Spagna with the church of Santa Trinità dei Monti. It is one of the most famous sights in Rome and a popular meeting place. An obelisk completes the curved flight of steps at the top.

The Spanish Steps take their name from the Spanish embassy at the Vatican, which still has its headquarters in the square. At the foot of the stairs is the small fountain Fontana della Barcaccia, which is almost 100 years older than the Spanish Steps.

In the surrounding district there are many luxurious shops, cafes and hotels.

Caution: Sitting on the stairs is now forbidden!
