Dating back to 1723, the Spanish Steps are a historic collection of 138 steps located at the eastern edge of the Old City Center.

The base of the steps begin at Piazza di Spagna. Visitors can climb the steep steps to the top, which is Piazza Trinita dei Monti, home of the Trinita dei Monte Church. Historically these steps have always been a place for poets, painters, and artists to visit.

Today, locals and tourists use them as a meeting spot or a place to congregate and hang out in the spring and summer months. Visitors who need assistance can use the lift near the Metro Station to take them to the top.
