From 1666 until 1742, the Four Fountains were constructed at the intersection of Via I Settembre and Via Cardines. They were designed by Giacomo Calcagni yet carved from marble by different sculptors. After the 1908 earthquake, only two of La Quattro Fontane were partially restored and reinstalled. This one is decorated with tritons and dolphins. Note the eagle on top. This represents the Spanish insignia. The Spanish period in Sicily began in 1479 and extended through the 18th century.
