Hiking
The Helical Staircase in the Vatican Museums, located in Vatican City, is an architectural marvel. Although at first glance it looks like a single staircase, it is actually made up of two intertwined spirals: one to go up and the other to go down. Designed in 1932 by the Italian Giuseppe Momo, this staircase is a delight for photography lovers. If you have the opportunity to visit the Vatican Museums, don't miss this gem along with the famous Sistine Chapel.

Hiking
The staircase at the exit of the Vatican Museums is a spiral staircase designed in 1932 by the Italian architect Giuseppe Momo. The staircase is inspired by Bramante's double helix staircase, which is located in the Pio-Clementine Museum. The staircase is one of the most photographed and admired elements of the Vatican Museums, due to its elegant shape and symmetry. The stairs lead to the exit of the museums and to the souvenir shop. It is a beautiful example of the combination of art and architecture in Vatican culture.

The stairs at the entrance to the Vatican revolve around Peter's boat.
