I have been there - an astounding place. Each landing on the stairs has its own fountain depicting one of the virtues. When that section ends, there are chapels with the stations of the cross. A must-see if you can get to Portugal. Pilgrims climb it on their knees. For those not into that, there is a tram/funicular.
