What to expect
The Fontana Pretoria is a monumental fountain located in Piazza Pretoria in the historic center of Palermo, Sicily, Italy. The fountain dominates the piazza on the west flank of the church of Santa Caterina and is one block south of the intersection of the Quattro Canti. It represents the Twelve Olympians, other mythological figures, animals, and the rivers of Palermo. The fountain was originally built in 1544 in Florence by Francesco Camilliani but was sold, transferred, and reassembled in Palermo in 1574. It is a great place to visit with family and friends to admire its beauty and historical significance
