The Staatliche Kunstakademie Düsseldorf is the Arts Academy of the city of Düsseldorf. It is well-known for having produced many famous artists, such as Joseph Beuys, Gerhard Richter, Thomas Demand and Andreas Gursky. In the stairway of its Main-Entrance are engraved the Words: "Für unsere Studenten nur das Beste" ("For our Students only the Best").
The school was founded by Lambert Krahe in 1762 as a school of drawing. In 1773, it became the Earl of Palatine's Academy of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. During the Napoleonic Wars, the earl's art collection was inherited by the Wittelsbach family and moved to Munich, prompting the Prussian government-- who had annexed the Düsseldorf region after Napoleon had surrendered-- to change it into a Royal Arts Academy in Düsseldorf, in 1819.
In the 1850s, the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf became internationally-renowned, with many students coming from Scandinavia, Russia and the USA to learn, amongst other things, the genre and landscape painting associated with the "The Düsseldorf School of Painting".

The steps from the lower promenade to the Burgplatz, also known as "Spanish Steps" after the big one in Rome, has become a popular meeting point in the summer months. A lighting installation has been erected on a group of three masts in 2002. It illuminates the steps with changing colored light. Behind the stairs, the "Schlossturm" (castle tower) is all that is left of the Castle of Düsseldorf which burned down in 1872. The renovated tower is now used by the Schifffahrtmuseum (ship museum).
Der Burgplatz ist ein zentraler Platz, direkt am Rhein der Düsseldorfer Altstadt gelegen.
Der unregelmäßige und weitläufige Platz entstand bereits bei den ersten Erweiterungen der jungen Stadt. Seinen Namen erhielt er durch seine Lage vor der ehemaligen Burganlage, dem späteren Düsseldorfer Schloss. Nach zahlreichen Bränden und Zerstörungen im Laufe der Zeit wurden schließlich 1892 die Überreste bis auf den Schlossturm abgetragen. In diesem befindet sich heute das Schifffahrtsmuseum.
Durch diesen Abriss wurde der historische, recht kleine, Burgplatz um ein Vielfaches vergrößert und öffnete sich fortan zum Rhein. Dies wurde durch eine Neugestaltung im Jahr 1995 noch einmal betont.
Am Burgplatz mündet die nördliche Düssel in den Rhein, dessen Ufer hier über eine Freitreppe erreichbar ist. Insbesondere diese Treppe ist im Sommer ein beliebter Treffpunkt für Einheimische und Touristen. Daneben wird der Platz von zahlreichen Gaststätten gesäumt und ist regelmäßiger Standort für regionale und überregionale Veranstaltungen.
Am 10. Mai 1995 wurde die Platzanlage in die Denkmalliste der Stadt in der Kategorie Bodendenkmäler eingetragen.
