Catania is one of the most fascinating destinations in eastern Sicily, a city rich in history, art, culture and traditions, located at the foot of magnificent Mount Etna and overlooking the Ionian Sea. Visiting Catania means discovering an authentic Sicilian city, famous for its Sicilian Baroque architecture, volcanic stone and lively Mediterranean atmosphere.
The perfect starting point for exploring Catania is Piazza Duomo, the heart of the historic city centre. Here you will find the magnificent Cathedral of Saint Agatha and the famous Elephant Fountain, the symbol of Catania. From Piazza Duomo, visitors can walk along Via Etnea, the city's main street, lined with shops, restaurants, cafés, historic buildings and beautiful views towards Mount Etna.
One of the best places to visit in Catania is also Villa Bellini, one of the city's most beautiful public gardens. Its tree-lined paths, palm trees, fountains and gardens provide a peaceful green space in the heart of the city.
The historic centre of Catania is particularly impressive thanks to its Baroque architecture. Rebuilt after the devastating earthquake of 1693, the city is characterised by magnificent historic buildings and monuments made with the distinctive volcanic stone of Mount Etna.
Catania is also an excellent destination for discovering eastern Sicily. Its location makes it easy to explore Mount Etna, Taormina, Giardini Naxos, Acireale and the spectacular Alcantara Gorges, making Catania an ideal base for sightseeing and day trips.
For guests staying at Aurora View Resort in Fondachello di Mascali, a visit to Catania is the perfect experience to combine with a relaxing seaside holiday. In a short time, you can travel from the beaches of the Ionian coast to the Baroque squares of Catania's historic centre, experiencing the best of Sicily through culture, food, sea and Mount Etna.
Catania is a city to be experienced through its monuments, markets, Sicilian flavours and spectacular views of Mount Etna – an unmissable stop during a holiday in eastern Sicily.
