In front of the church, in the center of the medieval village<\/strong> square, there is the Baroque fountain commonly called \u201cQuattro Fontane<\/strong>\u201d (\u201cFour Fountains\u201d) because of the four seahorse-shaped statues from which water flowed out and descended into the corresponding reservoirs below. The fountain is crowned by a statue of the Centauress<\/strong>, a symbol of the town and an unambiguous message of the political power that has been exercised in the square since the earliest times.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Other significant monuments are the Corvaja Palace<\/strong>, built by the Arabs and then expanded in the Norman period to accommodate the sessions of the first Sicilian parliament, and the Dukes of Santo Stefano Palace<\/strong>, built at the turn of the 14th and 15th centuries by a noble Spanish family.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
