| 046 of 244. Close by is this Baroque square, constructed between 1608 and 1620. It serves as the intersection of the city's two main streets, Via Maqueda and Corso Vittorio Emanuele. The four buildings each feature near-identical curved facades, each adorned with statues representing the four seasons, four Spanish kings of Sicily, and four patron saints of the city's quarters. Because of its unique layout, at least one of the four corners is always illuminated by the sun during daylight hours, earning it the nickname "Il Teatro del Sole". |
