These were the coolest steps! Pam read about them before we left for our trip, and made them a “must see” on our itinerary. These 163 steps are located in the Golden Heights neighborhood, between 15th and 16th streets. The local community was looking for a way to connect the beauty of their neighborhood with the one below and were inspired by a similar stair project in Caltagirone, Italy. The project was paid for through donations from the neighbors – each of them sponsored different handmade named tiles in the shapes of animals, fish and shells within the mosaic, then set aside time to participate in actually putting the tiles together. It took them two years to complete the project. The result is a beautiful piece of art depicting a sea to stars theme.
