- Cover photo description:
- Quattro Canti, officially known as Piazza Vigliena, is a Baroque square in Palermo, Sicily, in southern Italy. It was laid out by order of the viceroys between 1608-1620 by Giulio Lasso and Mariano Smiriglio at the intersection of the two main streets of Palermo, Via Maqueda and Corso Vittorio Emanuele. The square is octagonal, four sides being the streets; the remaining four sides are Baroque buildings, whose almost identical facades contain fountains with statues of the four seasons, the four Spanish kings of Sicily and patronesses of Palermo & x28;Christina, Ninfa, Olivia and Agata& x29;. The facades of the interchange are curved and rise to four floors; the fountains rise to the height of the second floor, the third and fourth floors contain the statues in niches. When the square was built, it was one of the first major examples of town planning in Europe.
