Bordered by the sparkling Ionian Sea and shadowed by the mighty Mount Etna, this lively destination offers a fascinating mix of culture, food, and architecture that captures the heart of every visitor.

A Glimpse into the Past

Founded by the ancient Greeks and shaped by Romans, Arabs, and Normans, Catania boasts a rich and varied past. Its Baroque buildings, UNESCO-listed city center, and legendary fish market all tell stories of resilience, especially following the eruptions of Mount Etna and devastating earthquakes that have, time and again, inspired the city’s unique character.

When to Visit

If you enjoy lively festivals, visiting at the start of February during the Festa di Sant'Agata provides an unforgettable cultural experience.
