2Renovation and Accessibility

Over the centuries, the Bramante Staircase has undergone several renovations to ensure its preservation.

In 1932, due to structural concerns, a replica was built to accommodate the increasing number of visitors. The original staircase is now reserved for descending, while the replica serves as the ascending route.
