Spanish Steps (Washington D.C.) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Spanish Steps (Washington D.C.)
The Spanish Steps are an urban arrangement in the Kalorama neighborhood of Washington DC, on 22nd Street NW just south of S Street NW. Inspired by the City Beautiful movement, the steps accommodate a steep difference of level between S Street and the parallel immediately to the south, Decatur Place NW. Named with reference to the Spanish Steps in Rome, though obviously of no comparable scale and grandeur, they were designed by local architect Robert E. Cook for the Municipal Office of Public Works and Grounds, and built in 1911. A granite lion-head fountain is located at the top of the steps.〔(【引用サイトリンク】date=1989 )〕 Following a car collision that damaged the original balustrade and fountain, the steps were restored in 1999.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://tclf.org/landscapes/spanish-steps )〕 ==References==
