Scalinata delle Caravelle, Monumental staircase in central Genoa, Italy
The Scalinata delle Caravelle features two distinct ramps separated by sloping flower beds arranged across multiple levels with maintained grass sections.
Built between 1922 and 1938, the staircase stands before the Victory Arch, a monument dedicated to the fallen soldiers of World War I.
The flower beds incorporate designs representing the three caravels used by Christopher Columbus in his 1492 voyage, connecting the site to maritime exploration.
Located perpendicular to Via Armando Diaz, the staircase provides access between different city levels near Andrea D'Oria Classical High School and the Questura.
The structure's official name is Scalinata del Milite Ignoto, meaning Staircase of the Unknown Soldier, reflecting its connection to the memorial arch.
