Discover more about Züchtige Treppe

The Züchtige Treppe, whose name translates to 'Chaste Steps', is a striking baroque staircase located in the historic city of Dubrovnik, Croatia. These steps lead up to the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary, a significant spiritual center in the eastern part of the old town. The staircase is not only a means of accessing the church but also an attraction in itself, offering wonderful views of Dubrovnik and its surroundings. The Church of Our Lady of the Rosary was historically frequented by the wealthy, and the design of the staircase includes filled gaps between the armrest columns to prevent onlookers from peeking under the dresses of women ascending the stairs, hence the name 'Chaste Steps'. The Jesuit Steps, also in Dubrovnik, are more famously known as a filming location for the 'Walk of Shame' scene in Game of Thrones. However, the Züchtige Treppe offers its own unique charm and historical context, set apart from the Jesuit Steps.
