Unique and peculiar square architecture

Coming out of Palermo Central Station, there is an intersection not far across the street called the "Four Corners Square," which divides the old town center's landmarks into four areas. Each of the four corners has a fountain sculpture representing the four seasons, so it is also called the Four Songs Square. The four corners of the intersection are semi-arched Baroque facades, each three stories high, with exquisite sculptures of symbolic meaning from bottom to top. Locals have also given it a more poetic name, "The Theater of the Sun," because the sunlight illuminates one corner like a spotlight at different times of the day. If you tilt your camera upwards and narrow the wide angle, you can capture all four buildings in one frame, one point with four faces.
