The views from the Rome Seagulls attic are among the most complete of the Eternal City. You can single out most sights of Rome, not only of the historical centre, but also beyond. As mentioned the attic is the most advanced observation point of the Spanish Steps district, which is practically perched on a hill. So unlike other observation points of the Spanish Steps, where from Rome's centre is seen in the distance, the attic projects into Rome's sights.
The photos below show are snapped with wide-angles and give only some general orientation of the views. For a complete view of what you will actually see with your natural sight, please visit the page about the panoramic views of the attic.

Piazza Mignanelli and Rome's centre seen from the higher terrace. The statue on the column represents St. Mary:
every year on Dec. 8, which is the Immaculate Conception Day for the Catholic Church, every Pope prays at the base of the column, and leaves a crown of flowers which is then hoisted on the statue (please look at the closer view of the statue in other pictures). |

Another view of Piazza Mignanelli: the Collegio Urbano della Propaganda Fede (Urban College of Propaganda Fede, the Urban Institution for the Propagation of Faith, of which the present Pope Benedict XVI was the director), and Rome's centre. |
The column of Piazza Mignanelli with St. Mary and the tribute of flowers which every Pope leaves every year on Dec. 8, seen from the higher terrace of the attic.
You can also single out three important sights of Rome.
The dome in the forefront is of the Church San Carlo al Corso, dedicated to the Cardinal of Milan St. Ambros.
In the distance you can see first the imposing Palazzo di Giustizia (Rome's Superior Tribunal), nicknamed by Romans "Palazzaccio" (Ugly palace) because it is imposing but without the typical Italian charm.
Finally you can see St. Peter's dome by Michelangelo, and the Vatican area. You can also single out the broadcasting aerial of the Vatican Radio. |

From both terraces and also from the windows of the attic you can clearly see Piazza Mignanelli.
The square takes its name from the patrician family Mignanelli, which lived in the adjacent palace (not as panoramic as the one of the Rome Seagulls penthouse). Now in the palace, among many illustrious owners, you notably find the atelier of Valentino, perhaps the greatest of all Italian fashion designers.
As you can clearly see, from the square there are steps leading to Piazza Trinita' dei Monti. These steps are called "Salita Mignanelli" (Mignanelli climb) as they are more steep than the Spanish Steps. Yet they are perfectly parallel to the Spanish Steps, and as mentioned they lead exactly to the same place, Piazza Trinita' dei Monti. The steps are thus one of Rome's centre hidden or off-the-beaten-tracks sights. They are less iconic than the Spanish Steps, and still they have charm and character. As you climb them, you find many offices of Italian fashion designers, of Italian jewel designers, and of creative, artist coiffeurs (hair dressers) .
View of Piazza Mignanelli and of the Salita Mignanelli
You can climb the Salita Mignanelli steps to reach directly the Borghese Gardens.
Moroever, immediately to the left of the Salita Mignanelli steps you find a garage, which is the oldest in Rome. It used to be the stable for the carriages of the Mignanelli family, then it was the first garage of Rome's firemen, until it became a garage. The guests of the Rome Seagull attic can book the parking, which is a rare find in Rome's centre.
