Walk around the beautiful fountain and discover all the different animal heads spitting water!

The Carrara marble fountain , originally crafted in 1555 for a Tuscan villa . It was sold to the city of Palermo and workers broke the fountain down to about 640 pieces and rebuilt it in Palermo.

Great fountain and piazza. Very interesting feature, statues . Great to sit and relax

Marina Pi

A collection of nude nymphs and gods, named by some church people as the fountain of Shame. Nice sunny place but not much space around it

Remo Malarik

Also called the Piazza della Vergogna. At night it's often lit up and looks really cool.

Spiros Theocharis

An enormous fountain complex which is a bit hidden from the main pathway

Comúnmente llamada la fuente de la vergüenza, es una visita obligada!

Viene anche detta fontana della vergogna perché le statue sono nude,e questa cosa non era ben vista all'epoca
