A city at the foot of Mount Etna
At the foot of Mount Etna, the highest active volcano in Europe, and overlooking the eastern coast of Sicily, lies Catania, one of the most important centres of Sicilian Baroque.
As you walk the historic city streets, you'll understand why UNESCO decided to protect the architecture by declaring Catania's historic centre a World Heritage Site.
Catania is a spectacular open-air stage in black and white, with countless Baroque monuments featuring two-tone facades in a striking blend of lava stone and white marble.
Along these same streets you can shop at its popular markets, plunge into crystal-clear waters lapping at beaches of sand and black volcanic rock, and enjoy dishes from a culinary tradition that will genuinely delight you.
