The word ‘abecederian’ means ‘novice.’ In the square between St. Mary's Basilica and the St. Barbara church, this fountain and statue, even though they are small, are also very noticeable. In particular, the expression on the face of the abecedarian stands out. There is no one consensus on what that expression might be. Some say he looks bored. Others say he looks fed u We areICE p and tired. Some people have found a cynical element in his face. The only way to know for sure is to go yourself and make up your own mind. Other than that, there's not much to see in the square take a picture and move on.
