  Great sight to see if you are passing through this area of Sicily. Lots of shops along the staircase to take home a memorable souvenir home from.

  From the top TA just another stair case. Visit church at foot of steps with interesting and quirky collection of nativity cribs from around the world. Interesting town with lovely architecture and atmosphere but not touristy.

  La Scala is a beautiful sight and lots of lovely little shops and cafes on the streets that lead off it

  A good uphill hike but worth it. The Cathedrale was closed. Most seem to close for the afternoons anyway. A quant town.

  This was such a religious experience and wonderful , wouldn't have missed this at all. Liked the religious aspect of this. Most of the Duomos ( churches)'in Sicily are so religious, it brings you back to times long ago!!

  A unique feature and punctuated by ceramic shops along the way and a spectacular view at the top - shame that the church there was closed, and not in the best shape...

  The staircase was breathtaking!! 142 stairs all made of ceramic tiles. I had seen pictures of it adorned with flowers during holidays and festivals but to see it in person was a thrill.

  remarkable staircase, particularly attractive at night. Caught a fiesta whilst I was there and that made it special. Definitely one to see - and climb.

  The staircase is the main magnet point in Caltegirone and it is especially beautiful in nighttime when hundreds of small lights make your impression deeper and lighter, literally speaking. The view from the top, as well as the view from the bottom of the La Scala, both are breathtaking, but in different ways.
