What are the Spanish Steps?

The Spanish Steps in Wembley Park connect Wembley Stadium and the OVO Arena, serving as a prominent public space. The Freddie Mercury mural uses all 58 steps as its canvas, transforming a functional architectural feature into a large-scale art installation. This makes the steps a destination in themselves, rather than just a walkway.
