Scala Santa, Campli, Religious pilgrimage site in Campli, Italy
The Scala Santa features 28 oak steps leading to the Sancta Sanctorum chapel, which contains statues of Dead Christ and Our Lady of Sorrows.
Pope Clement XIV recognized this structure in 1772, granting it equal spiritual importance to the Holy Stairs situated at the Lateran Palace in Rome.
Pilgrims follow the tradition of ascending the steps on their knees while reciting prayers, symbolizing the path Jesus walked during his Passion.
The sanctuary remains open daily from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, with free admission and special ceremonies held during Lent and Easter seasons.
The ceiling above the stairs displays detailed paintings of angels and symbols of the Passion, while Neapolitan reliquaries contain fragments of the True Cross.
