These Rococo style steps were built in the period between 1723 and 1726 designed in 1723 by Francesco De Sanctis and funded by a French diplomat. Leading from the Piazza di Spagna square to the 16th-century French monastery church Trinita dei Monti, the 135 steps are spread over three different terraces, representing the Holy Trinity. Climb to the top and you’ll be afforded gorgeous views; and visit in April for the added beauty of a sea of azalea flowers in bloom. Many walking tours begin and end here and it’s a meeting place, but be aware that you will not be allowed to sit or eat on the steps. Close to the Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon this district makes for a convenient base.
