Queen's House Staircase


The Tulip Stairs were the first centrally unsupported spiral stairs constructed in England, and they're a work of art.  They are part of the Queen's House, Greenwich, England, built between 1614-17 by architect Inigo Jones.  The house is open to the public (free of charge) from 10.00-17.00 most days as it's part of the National Maritime Museum.

If it doesn't "wow" you, perhaps the floor of the Great Hall will:
