The Spanish Steps are located on the Piazza di Spagna in Rome. The term Spanish Steps is often used as a popular name for this square. Here is also the Fontana della Barcaccia literally: Fountain of the ugly boat . The fountain provides the Piazza di Spagna with a picturesque appearance. The Stairs belong to the church of the Santissima Trinità dei Monti. The church, with its two towers dominating the Spanish Steps, was originally founded by the French King Louis XII in 1502. Already in the 17th century they wanted to connect this church with the square below where the Spanish embassy was located, hence the name Piazza di Spagna. Inside the church it is quite large with numerous chapels lining both sides. Each one a separate dedication with unique presentation aspects. The Deposition of the cross sculpture by Wilhelm Theodor Achtermann. There is an Obelisk in front of the church. The Obelisk Sallustiano is one of the thirteen old obelisks of Rome. It was built in Roman imperial times in imitation of the Egyptian obelisks. The obelisk was given in 1738 to Pope Clement XII. On 8 December, the Pope traditionally brings a flower tribute to the statue of Mary at the foot of the Spanish Steps.

De Spaanse Trappen bevinden zich op het Piazza di Spagna in Rome. De term Spaanse Trappen wordt vaak gebruikt als populaire naam voor dit plein. Hier staat ook de Fontana della Barcaccia letterlijk: Fontein van de lelijke boot. De fontein verschaft de Piazza di Spagna een pittoresk uiterlijk. Op donderdag 19 februari 2015 werd de recent opgeknapte fontein, voorafgaand aan de UEFA Europa League-wedstrijd AS Roma-Feyenoord, ernstig beschadigd door hooligans van Feyenoord. Het wangedrag van de hooligans leidde tot internationale verontwaardiging. De Trappen behoren bij de kerk Trinitá dei Monti. De kerk, die met zijn twee torens de Spaanse Trappen domineert, is oorspronkelijk gesticht door de Franse koning Lodewijk XII in 1502. Binnen in de kerk is het vrij groot met talrijke kapellen aan beide zijden. Elk een aparte toewijding met unieke presentatieaspecten. Met de prachtige kruissculptuur van de Depositie van Wilhelm Theodor Achtermann. Al in de 17de eeuw wilden ze deze kerk verbinden met het plein beneden waar de Spaanse ambassade was gevestigd vandaar ook de naam Piazza di Spagna. Voor de kerk staat een Obelisk. De Obelisk Sallustiano is één van de dertien oude obelisken van Rome. Het werd gebouwd in de Romeinse keizertijd in navolging van de Egyptische obelisken. De obelisk werd in 1738 geschonken aan paus Clemens XII. Op 8 december brengt de paus traditioneel een bloemenhulde aan het Mariabeeld aan de voet van de Spaanse Trappen.
