Quatro Canti

More than a street crossing is the intersection of Via Vittorio Emanuele and Via Maqueda. Its a meeting point, landmark and most of all a point of reference for all strangers coming to Palermo for the first time.

The fountain was originally created for a garden in Florence in 1551. In 1573 it was sold to the city of Palermo. For the transport the fountain was disassembled in 644 pieces. Because of the nudity of the statues, the square became also known as "Piazza della Vergogna" (Square of Shame).
