The 'Cat' of Palazzo Grazioli

Via della Gatta

A stone cat from the ancient Temple of Isis sits atop a cornice of the Palazzo Grazioli

---

Crouching high up on a cornice, at the rear of Palazzo Grazioli, is a small stone cat. The feline is thought to come from an ancient temple to the Egyptian goddess Isis, which once stood nearby. A neighbouring street, Via della Gatta, is named in its honour. 

It is said that treasure is hidden at the spot where the cat (some think it may be a monkey) is staring!
