Beautiful place. The Fountain of Shame (designed by Francesco Camilliani), is in the heart of the historic center of Palermo, is decorated with some 50 marvellous statues of monsters, harpies, sirens and tritons.

Very impressive place with so many statues. Well preserved and still shining as if it was made yesterday.

Definitely one of the nicest fountains I've ever seen, right up there with Trevi, you need 20 minutes just to take it all in, plust there are so many amazing things to visit all around it.

Worth a visit. Lots of history around the plaza. Apparently the nuns used to come out and cloth the statues every night and the government officials would come and remove the clothes revealing the statuses in all their glory every day. The architecture is once again outstanding. Just don’t see that kind of detail today.

The Fontana Pretoria is a monumental fountain located in Piazza Pretoria in the historic center of Palermo. 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. The fountain was originally built in 1544 in Florence by Francesco Camilliani but was sold and moved here.
