Teatro Marmoreo di Re Filippo V di Spagna, Baroque marble theater monument in Piazza della Vittoria, Palermo, Italy.
The Teatro Marmoreo features white marble balustrades, eight statues representing Philip IV's domains, and a central pedestal adorned with shields and festoons.
The monument was constructed in 1662 under Viceroy Fernando de Toledo Fonseca, with the original bronze statue of Philip IV destroyed during the 1848 revolution.
The monument displays allegorical representations of territories including Sicily, Naples, Milan, Sardinia, Portugal, Castile, Catalonia, and America through marble sculptures.
The Teatro Marmoreo stands between Villa Bonanno and the Royal Palace, accessible to visitors exploring the historical center of Palermo.
Four pillars at the corners support emblematic figures representing the known continents of that time: Europe, Asia, Africa, and America.
