Incredible staircase inside the Vatican Museums. They are one of the most photographed places in the museum. There is the original "Scala del Bramante" from 1505 which I don't have any pictures of, unfortunately. But there is also the one from 1932 designed by Giuseppe Momo, the one in the pictures. It is actually 2 staircases. It looks like one, but it is two staircases, so one can go up and the other can go down without ever coming across each other.

Towards the exit of Vatican museum. Very interesting and spiral designs as staircases!

Wonderful design. Spiralling staircase leading to the exit from the Vatican museum. Both from above and below it looks great. An artwork in itself.

600 year old spiral staircase in the Vatican Museum. Very nice to take symmetrical photography (if you enjoy photography at all) or just take a look at an architectural beauty.

Giuseppe Momo's spiral, a modern delight, In Vatican Museums, a captivating flight. At the journey's end, where all footsteps sway, Visitors ascend, as they conclude their day. Look up, to the skylight, a heavenly gleam, Guiding us upward, like a timeless dream. The atrium unfolds, a grand, open stage, Where art and wonder, together engage. A staircase of beauty, a unique design, In the heart of the Vatican, where wonders entwine. A passage to memories, in each step we find, In this spiral marvel, our spirits unwind.

Beautiful staircase at the very end of walking through the Vatican museums. It is very busy with people wanting photos, but if you are patient you will get some beautiful shots. The work put into this is amazing. Be sure to check out the original Bramante staircase towards the beginning of the Vatican museums. It is tucked away behind a window

If walking Vatican grounds and its museums is not enough exercise, try walking up this staircase couple of times. But please do not run. Also do not just take a quick photo snap from above. The railing ironwork is beautiful.

Beautiful for people watching before exiting the vatican museums.
