Fountain of the Elephant

The elephant fountain is located above the square of the cathedral, and it is also an iconic building here. It is more symbolic and the place is not big. You will see this fountain when you visit the cathedral and the monuments around the square.

The fountain is small. But there is an elephant here that does seem a little different, like this animal is usually more in Buddhism. This Catholicism is still rare in Europe.

The Elephant Fountain is located in the Cathedral Square in Sicily Catania, Italy, designed by architect Giovanni Batista Vaccarini, whose main black basalt elephant sculpture is considered a symbol of the city, and the obelisk on the elephant's back is said to have the ability to control Mount Etna. Visitors can sit by the fountain when they are tired, or have a cup of coffee around the square, and taste the Sicilian specialty dessert Cannoli...
