The Spanish Steps, possibly Europe's widest and longest staircase, reach up a whole 138 steps. From a Rome apartment rental, the Spanish Steps seem almost a natural extension of Via dei Condotti, which leads up to Piazza di Spagna. So entitled because of the piazza from which they ascend, the Spanish Steps were actually constructed in 1725 thanks to a legacy from a French diplomat. What's more, the church at the top the stairway, Trinita dei Monti, is also of French origin.
