Why are the famous spanish steps in ITALY?

Question

nooo i mean why are they called the spanish steps if its in ITALY

Answer 1

Why are the steps famous, do you mean?

Well I would say because of its history and also because it's the longest and widest set of stairs in Europe. I've been to the Spanish Steps and really it's nothing fancy. There are always a lot of people on the steps.

Answer 2

You mean "Piazza di Spagna", in Roma? if it was called, "Piazza d'Italia" how could you differ it from others? there would be many! Why is there a square in London called Trafalgar Square, isn't Trafalgar in Spain? And what about Vigo Street (near Picadilly Circus), isn't Vigo also in Spain?
