The Pretoria Fountain, built in 1554, is a classic landmark in Palermo. The fountain square is magnificent. Surrounding the main statue, there are about 30 nude statues, most of which are Olympian gods. They are lifelike and extremely vivid. The exquisiteness of the sculptures is amazing. The designer at that time was from Tuscany in central Italy. His artistic style was avant-garde. However, these nude statues were difficult for conservative believers who came to the nearby church to worship to accept. They thought it was immoral and gave the fountain a nickname: the Fountain of Shame. It was built in 1554. The Fountain of Pretoria is a classic landmark in Palermo.
