There are tales of circular staircases even older than that but no physical proof remaining to back up the claims.

But they’re also extremely practical and replacing a traditional stairway with circular stairs can really open up a space.

- Practicality: Who doesn’t want to get more out of the floor space they have? Short of building an addition to your house there are very few ways to actually increase your useable square footage.
