One of Rome’s most rec­og­niz­able attrac­tions, the Span­ish Steps was intend­ed to be a gate­way for the Trinità dei Mon­ti church. With 135 steps, this ele­gant stair­case was inau­gu­rat­ed by Pope Bene­dict XIII in 1725. It was named after the Span­ish Embassy to the Vat­i­can, which is locat­ed in the Piaz­za di Spagna since the 1600s. These steps are quite famous on-screen as well, with numer­ous fash­ion shows and movies being shot on them.
