Catania City Centre
About the destination
Catania is Sicily's second largest city and one of its most underrated: a city of baroque lava-stone architecture rebuilt spectacularly after the 1693 earthquake. Piazza del Duomo, with its iconic elephant fountain ('u Liotru'), opens onto the Cathedral of Sant'Agata and the colourful stalls of La Pescheria — one of the most atmospheric fish markets in the Mediterranean. The grand Via Etnea runs north for over a kilometre, lined with elegant palazzi, cafés and shops, framed by Mount Etna on the horizon. Culture lovers will find the neoclassical Teatro Bellini, the imposing Castello Ursino (now a civic museum), and the vast Monastero dei Benedettini — a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the largest Benedictine monasteries in Europe.
