   • Basilica Cattedrale Sant’Agata. The Cathedral of Catania is a simply beautiful structure and is a masterpiece of Norman and Baroque architecture. Located in the centre of the old town, the cathedral can be found in the self-styled Piazza Del Duomo and is in close proximity to many of the other sights.
   • Ursino Castle. Sicily has several fine castles that serve as remnants from the period of conquest that saw the island change hands from various different ruling factions.
   • Mount Etna. Catania virtually sits in the shade of the immense Mount Etna, and this active stratovolcano is one of the main tourist attractions of Sicily.
   • Monastero dei Benedettini. This Benedictine Monastery complex is located in the centre of Catania and is one of the most important and largest examples of its kind in Europe.

   • Piazza del Duomo. Start by going to piazza del Duomo, which is (as everywhere in Sicily) the heart of the city. Standing in the center of the square, you can admire the city’s emblem: The Elephant’s Fountain (fontana dell’ elefante in Italian).
   • Duomo Di Catania. Behind the fountain, there is Catania Cathedral, which can be visited free of charge every day of the week. Its exterior facade is very beautiful, all in white marble and the interior is dedicated to Saint Agatha, a young virgin tortured after refusing the amorous advances of a Roman prefect.
   • La pescheria. Just behind the piazza del Duomo, go for a walk in the fish market, the Pescheria. But beware it’s a real authentic market! You will stroll among decapitated swordfish, live lobsters, sardines and anchovies.
   • Via Etnea. From piazza del duomo, take Via Etnea, the main street of Catania. You guessed it, this street’s name comes from the view you will have there.

   • Palazzo Biscari. This is the city’s most important palazzo and a symbol of Catania’s Baroque architecture. Following a devastating earthquake, the building was rebuilt by Ignazio Paternò Castello III, the fifth prince of Biscari, a great scholar, archaeologist and lover of the arts, who not only made it his home, but also established the first major Museum open to the public, containing his great archaeological collection.
   • The Fish Market. Behind the cathedral in Catania, a tunnel created in the city walls built by Charles V houses the fish market; it is partly covered and partly in the open air.
   • Catania’s Historic Monastery San Benedetto in via Crociferi. A UNESCO heritage site in Catania, it is one of the city’s symbols, recognisable by the arch that opens onto Via Crociferi.
   • The Benedictine Monastery of San Nicolò l’Arena. At a 10-minute walk from Catania Cathedral you will find the Monastery of San Nicolò l’Arena, a jewel of late Sicilian baroque architecture and one of the largest Benedictine complexes in Europe.
