The Spanish Steps in Rome, Italy located in the city centre between the Piazza di Spagna at the base and Piazza Trinità dei Monti. The Scalinata is the longest and widest staircase in Europe. The monumental stairway of 138 steps was built between 1723–1725, linking the Spanish Embassy to the Holy See. In modern times, at Christmas time a 19th-century crib is displayed on the first landing of the staircase. In May, part of the steps are covered by pots of azaleas. The Spanish Steps now have a small cut-flower market. The steps are not a place for eating lunch, being forbidden by Roman urban regulations, but they are usually crowded with people.
