“I Caffè di Sicilia – U Liotru di Catania” is dedicated to the famous fountain located at the center of piazza Duomo in Catania, built by Giovanni Battista Vaccarini in 1737. Its main element is a black basalt statue that portrays an elephant, also considered the symbol of the Sicilian city.
The bond between Catania and the Liotru (the elephant) is ancient. An old legend recounts the story of an elephant that preyed ferocious animals during the founding of Kατάvη. Under the Muslim domination, the city was known as Balad-el-fil or Medinat-el-fil, meaning “the city of the elephant”.
Since 1239 the Liotru is the official symbol of the city of Catania.
