La Scala di Santa Maria del Monte is a 142 step staircase located in the small Sicilian town of Cltagirone. Each rise of the staircase is decorated with a different ceramic pattern.
In the Spring and Summer months, the staircase is decorated with flowers and other potted plants during La Scala Infiorata.
And the staircase is decorated with luminaries during La Luminaria.

I am not very creative so I am in awe of this. Just beautiful.
Okay, that makes Lombard Street in SF look amateur!
That is so very beautiful !! I hadn't seen this before. Thank you very much for sharing !!
Have a magical day.
How beautiful! I've never heard of these steps before, thanks. I especially like the luminaria display.
How beautiful!
xoxoxo
Oh my gosh! This is amazing! I love ceramic tile. I'd love to do this to each on of the stairs in my house. It would put me in the poor house, hiring someone though. I'd have to take a crash-course in masonry.
The flowers and luminaries are fantastic. What a joyful spot!
I wonder how they create such extraordinary designs on such a large scale. Perhaps they plan the design on a grid or something then place the plants? Awesome however it is done!
