The intersection of Via Vittorio Emanuele and Via Maqueda is the town's historic center, Quattro Canti (Four Corners), in a characteristic setting of two great Baroque churches (San Giuseppe dei Teatini and Santa Caterina), the monumental 16th-century Pretoria Fountain by a Florentine sculptor, and the piazza of the same name.
The Pretoria Fountain was created in the 16th century.
