Scala Santa

The Holy Staircase is part of the medieval legend which tells that it is the ascent of Jesus, transported in 326 by Saint Helena Empress to Rome. In fact, it represents the scale of Jesus' ascent to the interrogation hall of Pontius Pilate, before his crucifixion. The building that contains it is called Scala Santa and was built at the end of the 16th century by Pope Sixtus V. The structure was erected by Domenico Fontana and in the palace inside it we can admire several monuments.
