Its history is intriguing and in fact this steep staircase owes its name to a legend. It was entirely built in one night by the soldiers of the King of Aragon when they invaded the city in 1420. But it also seems that the staircase was built centuries earlier to reach the drinking water of the ancient well of San Bartolomeo (now no longer accessible for safety reasons). Walk the 189 steps of the King of Aragon's staircase on the limestone too!!! Little curiosity: did you know that the town of Bonifacio was targeted by many powers such as the Pisans, Genoese and Aragonese?

🇼đŸ‡č La sua storia Ăš intrigante e infatti questa ripida scala deve il suo nome a una leggenda. Venne interamente costruita in una notte dai soldati del re d’Aragona, quando invasero la cittĂ  nel 1420. Ma pare anche che la scalinata sia stata realizzata secoli prima per raggiungere l’acqua potabile dell’antico pozzo di San Bartolomeo (ora non piĂč accessibile per questioni di sicurezza). Percorri anche tu i 189 gradini della scalinata del Re d’Aragona sulla pietra calcarea!! Piccola curiositĂ : sapevi che la cittĂ  di Bonifacio Ăš stata presa di mira da molte potenze come i pisani, genovesi e aragonesi?
