Palazzo Pretorio
Palermo’s historic town hall faces Fontana Pretoria, giving the square a civic as well as sculptural focus. The exterior is a short, easy stop.
Why go
Palazzo Pretorio has served municipal government for centuries and still defines one side of Piazza Pretoria. Stand back near the fountain to see how the facade addresses the square. Its civic role distinguishes it from the private palaces scattered through the old center.
