Piazza Duomo, Catania

Here are a few pictures from Piazza Duomo in Catania taken the same day as those at Bellini Park. A piazza is a square. Piazzas vary in size and shape, some are very small and others are very large; this one happens to be on the large side. Sometimes they are surrounded by homes, sometimes the have benches, fountains, statues, or cafes...and of course any combination of the above. Piazza Duomo has a variety of buildings surrounding it; restaurants, shops, pastry shops, banks, a cathedral, and a road. It also has a fountain and a monument (an obelisk with an elephant) and is often referred to as elephant square.
