Other name of Vigliena square and heart of the baroque city with rounded facades and statues of the four seasons

This is the other name of Piazza Vigliena, the heart of the Baroque city, at the crossroads of Via Vittorio Emanuele and Via Maqueda. At the four corners: the rounded façades of the buildings are decorated with statues and fountains. The architect Giulio Lasso designed them as a theatre set between 1609 and 1620, where he placed the four patron saints of Palermo, Agatha, Ninfa, Christina and Olivia, surrounded by archangels. At the bottom of the fountains, one can admire the statues of the four seasons on which they are placed. Above the fountains are the statues of the Spanish kings.

Ou encore Place Vigliena. La place est en plein centre historique, au croisement de la via Vittorio Emanuele avec la via Maqueda, deux rues sur lesquelles il faut flâner, la dernière étant aménagée piétonne, et la seconde coupée à la circulation par endroits à partir de la cathédrale (ce qui ne veut pas dire qu'il n'y a aucune voiture qui circule!!!). Beaucoup de monde sur la place pour admirer les quatre fontaines, représentant chacune une saison, surmontées de statues de rois et de saints.

Sûrement la place la plus connue de Palerme, surtout à l'étranger, mais qui n'est pourtant pas la plus belle de la ville...
This place is magnificent, a statue in the four corners, attached church... Wonderful: you just shame not able to linger because it is a place where traffic never stops
