This staircase is absolutely beautiful. Painted ceramics line each step and reveal the history/culture of Sicily. There is some information available on site, but I would reccomend doing a little research in advance. The staircase is smaller than it looks and only takes a few minutes to climb (if you don't stop and admire all the ceramics). When I visited in November 2022, the staircase was very clean and well-kept. There are many cafés and restaurants nearby, so this is a good spot to stop for lunch.

Worth a visit, great view from the top and lovely decorated steps. They're quite deep steps though so hard going.

Open area public stairs that take one down from the old town to the new town and was built after the great earthquake of 1692. 142 steps with 142 different ceramic hand painted tiles creating a museum of ceramic art in its own right. More often than not during the fairer part of the year the steps are adorned with flowers depicting dates or images. During the 14th & 15th August each year the stairs are decorated with lanterns powered by olive oil, a feat that involves a couple of hundred volunteers.

Must see. You can take a tuk-tuk ride and ask to be left of the top of the stairs, instead of climbing the steps, specially if you are not so young…
