The perfect spot for a romantic picnic or a lunch with close friends, this quiet and endearing place is overlooked by even the locals. With pristine curving steps wrapping around an architecturally stunning fountain, it is a rare unknown gem in the heart of the country’s capital.
Named after the Spanish Steps in Rome but not as big or decorative, the steps were built in 1905 to connect S Street with Decatur Place NW. Ascending the grand steps leads to a magnificent granite lion’s head fountain at the top.
