The grand staircase of the historic Livraria Lello bookstore in Porto, Portugal. Bright crimson steps and dark carved wood railings curve upward through the center of the room. High, vaulted ceilings with intricate neo- Gothic wood carvings and blue painted accents loom above, while floor-to- ceiling wooden bookshelves filled with books line the walls on both levels.
