Rome, Italy, February 10 -- A warm ray of sun at sunset illuminates the Fontana della Barcaccia near the monumental stairway of Trinità dei Monti, or Spanish Steps, in the baroque heart of Rome. This iconic fountain in Rome was finished in 1629 by the architect and sculptor Pietro Bernini, father of the more famous Gian Lorenzo Bernini, commissioned by Pope Urban VIII. According to tradition, Gian Lorenzo himself participated in the final construction of the fountain on the death of his father in 1629. A masterpiece of the late Roman Baroque, the monumental stairway of the Trinità dei Monti (Spanish Steps) was built in 1721 to connect the church of the Santissima Trinità dei Monti (top in the photo) with the Piazza di Spagna (Spanish Square). Designed by the architect and urban planner Francesco De Sanctis, the Spanish Steps were inaugurated by Pope Benedict XIII on the occasion of the Jubilee of 1725. Built starting from 1502 in the Renaissance style, the church of the Santissima Trinità dei Monti was commissioned by Charles VIII, King of France, to give a stable accommodation to the religious Order of the Minims. In 1570 the façade was rebuilt based on a design by the architects Giacomo Della Porta and Carlo Maderno, with the construction of the two characteristic bell towers. In 1980 the historic center of Rome was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco. Super wide angle image in 16:9 and high definition format.
