| Pretoria Fountain |
 | |
The handsome Fontana Pretoria is constituted by three basins, gradually lessening in width from the top to the bottom, placed on a sumptuous staircase surrounded by statues representing the gods of Olympus. In the foreground is St. Catherine's church. The fountain was colloquially known as the “fountain of the shame” due to the naked statues which form the monument.
