This is La Scala Santa in Rome. According to an ancient Christian tradition, Saint Helena, the mother of Constantine, had the stairs transported from Pontius Pilate’s palace in Jerusalem to Rome. It is believed that Jesus climbed these stairs several times the day he was sentenced to death, thus, they are known as the “Scala Pilati” or “Scala Sancta” (the Holy Stairs or Pilate’s Stairs). At the top of the stairs is the Sancta Sanctorum. I was here in 2022.

Location: Lateran Palace (Rome, Italy)
