Itinerary

1. Quattro Canti
Admire the square - Quattro Canti in the beating heart of the downtown.

Duration: 30 mins
2. Fontana della Vergogna - The Praetorian Fountain
Admire Fontana della Vergogna-one of the most beautiful fountains in Italy. It is popularly known as the fountain of shame due to the disproportionate sums paid to purchase it, the continuous rise in costs and the continuous increase in endless additional expenses, figures considered "shameful" by the people of Palermo.

3. Piazza della Rivoluzione
Admire the statue of the Genius of Palermo, depicting a symbol of the city, which had been installed here in the 17th-century, but removed by the Bourbon administration after the Sicilian revolution of 1848. After the liberation of Sicily by Garibaldi in 1860, the fountain and statue, which had become a patriotic symbol, were reunited, and the piazza renamed. Now Piazza Rivoluzione is a small. picturesque square surrounded by bars and restaurants.
