Күн бұрынWith an endless amount of things to do and see, Catania truly offers something for everyone! Here are our Top 10 things to do in Catania!
Having been rocked by numerous earthquakes and volcanic eruptions over the centuries, Catania has undergone a drastic medley of changes, and as a result, opened up the opportunity for its beautifully distinct character to develop and flourish. The second-largest city in Sicily is much more than a base for the legendary volcano that shadows it, bustling streets, mouth-watering cuisine, vibrant parks, churches, monuments, shops, and nightlife, with an endless amount of things to do and see, Catania truly offers something for everyone!

Beautiful video of my beautiful city 💕 there’s a reason why the church of San Nicolò l’Arena hasn’t been finished! The benedictines were very powerful, hence the prominent position of the monastery in the city. When they decided to build the church next to it, it was in a power competition with the bishop of Catania, who couldn’t accept that the biggest church in the city wouldn’t have been the one in piazza Duomo any more; also, its position upon the hill of the city would kind of dominate it. In the end the bishop managed to stop the construction of San Nicolò l’Arena, to keep his symbolic power on Catania unaltered. If you want to, you can have guided tours in the Benedictine monastery, where they tell you this and other interesting stories about the monastery and also show you many places that are usually closed to the public, like the underground, the kitchen, and many more 💕 I’m a university student at the monastery and couldn’t love it more than I do!
