Piazza Pretoria

Fontana Pretoria
Fontana Pretoria
by Walter Maurer

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).
