The Spanish Steps can be climbed in the Plaza de España in Rome. There are 135 steps from the Plaza de España at the bottom (Piazza di Spagna) to the Church of Trinità dei Monti at the top. The staircase was built with funds bequeathed by French diplomat Etienne Guofier, linking the Trinità dei Monti church sponsored by France's Bourbon dynasty to the Spanish embassy at the bottom.
