Metropol Parasol Stairway - Seville, Spain - Outdoor Stairways on Waymarking.com

Designed by the German architect Jürgen Mayer-Hermann, Metropol Parasol was completed in April 2011. It has dimensions of 150 by 70 metres (490 by 230 ft) and an approximate height of 26 metres (85 ft).

The structure consists of six parasols in the form of giant mushrooms ("Las setas" in Spanish), whose design is inspired by the vaults of the Cathedral of Seville and the ficus trees in the nearby Plaza de Cristo de Burgos. The Metropol Parasol is organized in four levels. The underground level (Level 0) houses the Antiquarium, where Roman and Moorish remains discovered on site are displayed in a museum. Level 1 (street level) is the Central Market. The roof of Level 1 is the surface of the open-air public plaza, shaded by the wooden parasols above and designed for public events. Levels 2 and 3 are the two stages of the panoramic terraces (including a restaurant).

Realized as one of the largest and most innovative bonded timber-constructions with a polyurethane coating, the parasols grow out of the archaeological excavation site into a contemporary landmark, defining a unique relationship between the historical and the contemporary city.

Metropol Parasol is a fascinating structure to see and visit and it offers a panoramic view of Seville, one of Spain most beautiful cities. A visit to the mirador (lookout) is a must and on those hot days you will appreciate the drink which is included in the price of the ticket.

I did not find the exact amount of steps but it is certainly more than 100.
