Spanish Steps
An extraordinary masterpiece of the eighteenth century, the steps of Trinità dei Monti are the connection between the Pincio hill and the Piazza di Spagna below, at that time separated by a bare, steep and muddy hill. It was built between 1723 and 1726 by the architect Francesco De Sanctis, commissioned by Cardinal Pierre Guérin de Tencin. It was inaugurated on the occasion of the Jubilee of 1725 by Pope Benedict XIII. Built in travertine, the staircase is made up of 11 flights, each made up of 12 steps that divide, meander, reunite, continuously changing direction. A series of balustrades accompanies the ramps which interrupt the steep difference in height and function as a resting point and landscape enjoyment. The grandiose structure, which established a connection between an area of the city with a strong French presence with the Spanish colony below, constitutes an architectural space that serves both for transit and, above all, as a meeting place and pleasant rest.
Piazza Di Spagna
Piazza di Spagna is one of the most famous and visited squares in Rome. In the center stands the Barcaccia Fountain, designed and sculpted in Baroque style by Pietro and Gian Lorenzo Bernini.
