Catania

January 25, 2022

Catania is an ancient port city on Sicily's east coast. It sits at the foot of Mt. Etna, an active volcano with trails leading up to the summit. The city's wide central square, Piazza del Duomo, features the whimsical Fontana dell'Elefante statue and richly decorated Catania Cathedral. It's part of the UNESCO site Late Baroque Towns of the Val di Noto.

The Cathedral of Sant Agata is the Cathedral of Catania, dedicated to the martyr Saint Agatha, located in the main square of the city, Piazza del Duomo. The cathedral has been destroyed and rebuilt several times because of earthquakes and eruptions of the nearby Mount Etna.
