After Sarah's link to the new blog Stair Porn yesterday, we had to share our own photos from a recent tour of Venice which included a jaunt past Scala Contarini del Bovolo — a six-story exterior spiral staircase built at the end of the 15th century...
The Venetian word bovolo translates to snail. There are pictures all over the web of this famous staircase.

Love it! The World Monuments Fund helped restore this in the 1980's.
Easily the highlight of my Venice trip. And it's never crowded because it's not well marked on any map.
