Eternal Rome, Italy’s capital
The famous Sclinata della Trinità dei Monti or Spanish Steps (named after the Spanish Embassy to the Holy See) to the church of Trinità dei Monte, built with a legacy from the French in 1725. The Italian Renaissance church was consecrated in 1585 by Pope Sixtus V. In front of the church stands the Obelisco Sallustiano, one of the many obelisks in Rome, moved here in 1789. A cleaning crew cleans the litter of the night before on the steps.
