The Seahorse Fountain is a significant monumental work from the 18th century in Palermo, specifically in Piazza Santo Spirito, just a few steps from the monumental Porta Felice and the picturesque promenade of Foro Italico.

The Teatro Politeama Garibaldi, commonly known as Politeama, is a theatre located in Piazza Ruggero Settimo, at the end of Viale della Libertà. Home to the Sicilian Symphony Orchestra, it is considered the "heart" of the city. Its construction was started in 1867 by Giuseppe Damiani Almeyda and inaugurated in 1874, although incomplete and without a roof. The building, as conceived, aimed to exalt its social function as a "Theatre of the people": the horseshoe-shaped hall in 1874 indeed had a capacity of 5,000 spectators, a double row of boxes, and a gallery divided into two tiers. The entrance to the structure is characterized by a neoclassical-inspired triumphal arch, topped by a quadriga with a bronze Apollo, a work by Mario Rutelli. The term "Politeama" indicates a generic theatre where various types of performances are given.

Inaugurated in July 2017, the mural in memory of Paolo Borsellino and Giovanni Falcone was created at the behest of the National Association of Magistrates, on a wall of the "Gioieni-Trabia" Nautical Institute in Palermo. The large portrait, inspired by the famous photograph by Tony Gentile, was created by the Sicilian street artists Rosk and Loste.
