Spiral staircases are a staple of architectural design, because they add dynamics and almost fractal-based geometry to architecture. Many prominent landmarks, both modern and ancient, feature these types of staircases. Because of the unique perspectives, angles and viewpoints that spiral staircases allow, spiral staircase photographs are very popular among photographers.
