La fontana Pretoria fu realizzata nel 1554 da Francesco Camilliani a Firenze, ma nel 1581 venne trasferita in piazza Pretoria a Palermo. Collocata in un primo tempo nel giardino del palazzo fiorentino del fratello della granduchessa Eleonora di Toledo, per intervento del fratello Don Garçia, il primo viceré di Sicilia e governatore di Palermo, fu messa in vendita per il Senato palermitano. Acquistata dopo vent'anni dalla realizzazione, venne smontata e spedita, a Palermo dove tutt'oggi è possibile ammirarla. Giorgio Vasari la definì "una fontana stupenda che non ha eguali a Firenze o forse in Italia".
