In the square just in front of the cathedral stands the fountain of Piazza Duomo. Made in Baroque style, it is also known as the " 4 fountains " by the 4 columns located at the corners of the central basin, surmounted by seahorses from whose mouth the water came out and entered the basins below.

The fountain was built in 1635 by order of the administrators at the time.
