Road Trip — Spain

Triple Ascent #112 (2014)

  • Intricate stone steps intersect within the Museum of the Galician People, showcasing a unique triple-helix design in Galicia, Spain. This vantage point highlights how three independent staircases climb the same vertical space without ever meeting. Dark wooden handrails and ornate iron balustrades provide a sharp contrast against the pale granite and white walls. A traditional panelled wooden door sits nestled between the rising flights, grounding this architecture in its historic context. Light from wall-mounted fixtures illuminates the textured masonry, guiding visitors through this complex museum interior. The rhythmic patterns of the spiral staircase create a sense of mathematical harmony. This structural marvel remains a premier example of Baroque ingenuity, inviting guests to explore every geometric angle.
