Fish Market and Amenano Fountain in Catania

Catania's fish market is adjacent to the Cathedral Square (Piazza del Duomo), the entrance being near the Amenano fountain.
Lively, noisy and colorful, the fish market is an attraction in Catania, a way to experience the abundant fishing and seafood culture of Sicily, with an atmosphere that has hardly changed in hundreds of years.
The Amenano fountain, in Carrara marble baroque style, takes its name from the Amenano river that once flowed there. It was created in the 1800s to decorate the fish market and help fishmongers wash away the bloody aftermath of market day.
