Spanish Steps "REGINA" -
The street and the palace

 


Via San Giacomo

Via San Giacomo: the palace


All the streets near the Spanish Steps have a distinct personality. Via San Giacomo is endowed with elegant palaces, but above all it has a unique feature: traffic circulation is forbidden, only car park is allowed. The result is a street with a special feel of charm and silence, which are rare in the Spanish Steps area. The silence is broken at times by the children of the grammar school (palace to the left) in the morning. The palace of the Regina, the second on the right side of the street in the right photo, is very elegant.

We have inspected many palaces in the Spanish Steps area, but we have never seen one so marvellously renovated, and with such a mannerly feel. The hall is very ample, and it is followed by a large court, decorated with many plants in large vases. One is impressed by the combination of elegance and quiet in the Spanish Steps area, renowned for its charm but also for its noise. The palace includes a concierge, and selected offices.

There are plants in large vases everywhere.
