Considered the historical centre where two major roads meet and four historical corners meet. Each corner represents a story and each corner has a small fountain below the story representing one of the four seasons. It is an amazing location. Get there early in the morning before all the crowds and noise arrives.

This is what’s considered the center of old Palermo. The 4 corners are interesting to see each has a different season and story depicted with statues and water fountains. It’s at the intersection of 2 major streets that you will want to stroll down. Musicians usually playing.

When we arrived at the Quattro Canti Square we were pleasantly surprised by the relaxed atmosphere: street musicians were playing, horse-driven carriages were waiting for tourists and the four baroque facades were magnificent! Each of the four corners of this square belongs to one of the four historical quarters of Palermo. The four concave facades were built in early XVII. century and each of them contains a fountain that represents a season of the year, a Spanish ruler with his court of arms and a female patron saint.

We were on MSC cruise and we visited Palermo. This place is surprising. Unfortunately camera can not share all the view as you see it, when you are there. We also did some good shopping of nice dresses for my girls from Indian lady.
