Quattro Canti
The Four Corners is the decorated intersection of two main thoroughfares: Via Vittorio Emanuele and Via Maqueda. Four rather exhaust-blackened Baroque palaces from Spanish rule meet at concave corners, each with its own fountain and representations of a Spanish ruler, patron saint, and one of the four seasons. These days it's one of Palermo's major tourist hot spots and a favorite venue for street performers.
