Catania, Sicily, Italy

Catania, Sicily Italy

Catania is the second largest city in Sicily. It has been buried seven times due to violent eruptions from the Etna volcano and numerous earthquakes, resulting in the destruction of many of its monuments. However, the old town has been well preserved, to the extent that it was designated a World Heritage Site in 2002. Visitors to the city center can appreciate the city's main feature: its baroque architecture. The primary examples of this are the Cathedral Square, Piazza del Duomo, with the Elephant Fountain, the ornate Cathedral, which was founded in the 11th century on the ruins of ancient baths, and the impressive 13th century Ursino Castle. The remnants of the city's Roman and Greek heritage can still be seen at the former Acropolis of Katane, which includes the Roman Theatre, built by the Greeks and rebuilt by the Romans, the Odeon, and the Amphitheatre. Catania's nightlife is chaotic, loud, and lively, with hundreds of bars, clubs, and restaurants available for visitors to experience the city's infectious zest for life.
