Among the man-made attractions of Palermo, the Norman Castle is especially distinguished - the Palazzo Normanni, the former residence of the Sicilian kings, and the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin. The Baroque Jesu Church and the famous Fountain of Pretoria (Fountain of Shame) complement the Baroque and medieval panorama of the city.
