There are 135 steps and three different terraces, referring to the Holy Trinity (the Trinità). The top of the stairs near the Egyptian obelisk offers a beautiful view, albeit one shared with throngs of other tourists. The name can be a bit confusing, as construction of the steps was actually commissioned by the French (Louis XII). In the 17th century, the Spanish embassy was located on the square – ‘Piazza di Spagna’ – at the base of the stairs, hence the name ‘Spanish Steps'. The official name is therefore not Spanish steps, but Scalinata della Trinità dei Monti .\n\n## Barcaccia Fountain\nOn this Piazza di Spagna, you can also find a fountain by Pietro Bernini (father of the famous Gian Lorenzo Bernini), called ‘Fontana della Barcaccia’. This literally means ‘Fountain of the ugly boat’. This does not refer to the sculpture being ugly, but to the story that the river Tiber flooded in 1598 and stranded the ugly little boat on this spot. That was Bernini's inspiration. The not very impressive water jets of the fountain are the result of insufficient water pressure from the aqueduct that supplies it. If the French had had their way, there would have also been a large statue of the French king Louis XII near the steps. But the pope at the time would not allow that, leading to construction being delayed. Nowadays, the area surrounding Piazza di Spagna is a luxurious shopping area, with the street Via Condotti being the highlight.\n\n"},{"metadata":{"width":525,"height":640},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FduaUl07eAvTFwbQqT8MP%2F23f3e632cff17e4c202dc8a03d2bd3ae.jpg?alt=media&token=91de7e3d-4ff4-4693-8108-72e9c1c0b355"},{"metadata":{"width":576,"height":1026},"type":"video","content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FduaUl07eAvTFwbQqT8MP%2Ft%E1%BA%A3i%20xu%E1%BB%91ng%20(5).mp4?alt=media&token=00ab3176-3391-4e22-91c7-40d3eab1b2e9"}]},{"address":"Da Edy","location":{"longitudeDelta":0.14321712068773834,"latitudeDelta":0.09219986310369421,"latitude":41.90898431425307,"longitude":12.479044399999975},"media":[{"type":"text","content":"# Da Edy"},{"metadata":{"width":1000,"height":750},"type":"img","version":1,"content":"https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/freeguides-prod.appspot.com/o/assets%2Ftours%2FduaUl07eAvTFwbQqT8MP%2F501_183484761.jpg?alt=media&token=5e6d5057-d930-4cae-9426-ac8f4a38d2f6"},{"type":"text","content":"End your journey by eating at Da Edy.
