The fountain is small. But there is an elephant here that does seem a little different, like this animal is usually more in Buddhism. This Catholicism is still rare in Europe.
The Elephant Fountain is located in the Cathedral Square in Sicily Catania, Italy, designed by architect Giovanni Batista Vaccarini, whose main black basalt elephant sculpture is considered a symbol of the city, and the obelisk on the elephant's back is said to have the ability to control Mount Etna. Visitors can sit by the fountain when they are tired, or have a cup of coffee around the square, and taste the Sicilian specialty dessert Cannoli...
Catania has elephants everywhere. This fountain is super cute.
Fontana dell''Elefante意大利西西里卡塔尼亚的主教座堂广场,建于1735年-1737年,由建筑师乔瓦尼·巴蒂斯塔·瓦卡里尼(Giovanni Battista Vaccarini)设计。主体黑色玄武岩大象雕塑u Liotru被视为该市的标志。很多人在那里休息,鸽子无忧无虑的飞来飞去。旁边很多咖啡店,去的那天正好还警察封路,估计有大人物来。不过,当地警察都很NICE,笑嘻嘻的。
位于卡塔尼亚大教堂的广场中心上的大象喷泉由黑色的大象托着一定白色的大理石方碑。这是卡塔尼亚的标志性建筑之一。也是卡塔尼亚的主要旅游景点。卡塔尼亚城市不大从火车站汽车总站走路过来即可。
大象喷泉位于广场中央,正对卡塔尼亚主教堂,是卡塔尼亚必来的景点之一,而且周围都是主要景点。边上就是咖啡店,可以买杯咖啡和提拉米苏,边品尝边欣赏景色。
