Sea Horse

Walking along Corso Vittorio Emanuele, just before arriving at Porta Felice, there is this small square dominated in the center by a fountain with the statue of the Cavallo Marino. This work of art was previously in the Ajutamicristo palace and only in 1864 it was moved to the place where it is today. It is the work of the Palermitan sculptor Ignazio Marabitti and was commissioned by the prince of Paternò. It represents a white marble horse that emerges from some rocks and which, together with the two little angels placed at its side, leans towards the fountain. The view of the fountain is very suggestive in the evening, when it is illuminated.
