Well Bolletarian Palace is 1 naturally.
And then as you walk up the stairs the numbering happens in the order that you encounter the warp stones, so for example, 'Stonefang tunnel' is 2 coz its located next to 'Bolletarian Palace' and then 'Tower of Latria'(3) and so on and so forth.

It is better to die on one's feet
then live on one's knees
