Piazza di Spagna, with the Spanish Steps, is one of the most famous in Rome. It owes its name to the Palazzo di Spagna, seat of the embassy of the Iberian state to the Holy See since 1622.
The monumental staircase of 136 steps, commissioned by Cardinal Pierre Guérin de Tencin, was inaugurated by Pope Benedict XIII on the occasion of the Jubilee of 1725: it was built, thanks to French funding starting from 1721, to connect the Bourbon embassy of Spagna, to which the square owes its name, to the church of the Trinità dei Monti.
