Fontana dell'Elefante

The fountain with a black stone elephant in Piazza del Duomo is one of the symbols of Catania. The sculpture dates from the Roman period, while the current fountain was designed in the 18th century by Giovanni Battista Vaccarini. Surrounded by Baroque buildings, it serves as the main gathering place in the historic city center.
