Does the first one have a practical purpose? Doesn't look like it, unless you're supposed to leap over to those flats, or whatever it is, behind...

I think it's a piece of sculpture.

Thanks for sorting out the photos Krebs!!
Let's see if we can get some answers for their locations .......

The bottom image is at the original entrance of the Vatican Museums, Rome, (now an exit), which were opened to the public in 1929. The spectacular bronze spiral staircase was designed by Giuseppe Momo in 1932 and has the names and papal insignia of all the Renaissance popes who contributed to the realization of the complex: from Martin V to Clement VIII.

Thanks rhubroma. I'll check it out when I visit the Vatican one of these days.

Does anyone have a good photo of the staircase of the Chateau de Chambord? Wiki has one, but it doesn't really show the point. It's a double staircase where when you go up one staricase, and another person down the other staircase, they'll not be able to see each other! Kind of cool.
