Source: cosidetto

Description

La Fontana Pretòria es va situar al segle XVI a la Piazza Pretòria, que va ser construïda especialment per a la font.

La font va ser encarregada originalment pel virrei espanyol de Nàpols Pedro Álvarez de Toledo per a la seva vil·la florentina per diversos escultors de Florència . No obstant això, don Pedro va morir abans que l'obra s'acabés el 1554, i el seu fill va vendre la font a la ciutat de Palerm el 1573. El mateix any es va construir una plaça davant del Palazzo Pretorio , avui ajuntament, i el S'hi van reunir l'església dominicana de Santa Caterina i les 644 parts de la font.

La font té una circumferència de 133 metres i fa 12 metres d'alçada . La font conté moltes estàtues de deesses fluvials i nimfes. Com que la majoria de les estàtues estan nues, la font també s'anomena Font de la Vergonya . La font va ser totalment restaurada a finals del segle XX.
