What to expect
Terme Achilliane
Vast thermal complex, dating back to the III-IV century AD, which extended into the area of Piazza Duomo. The thermal plant was made up of numerous rooms, but the only portion remained accessible is located just below the cathedral
Basilica Cattedrale di Sant'Agata
The heart of the city, sacred and profane between Liotru and Sant’Agata, Norman rigor and baroque splendor. From the original "ecclesia munita" of the Norman era, to the current Baroque Cathedral, a history of destruction and reconstruction through the centuries and the faith of the citizens of the Etna city.
Museo Civico Castello Ursino
The ancient manor house of Frederick in the course of its eight centuries of history has hosted prisoners and sovereigns, has lived in romantic kidnappings and furious assaults, breathed in sea salt and sulfur from lava.
Pozzo di Gammazita
A mysterious place, hidden 12 meters below street level, under the imposing lava front of 1669, which tells an ancient and fascinating legend of love and freedom.
A Putia Dell'Ostello
The Amenano, a mysterious underground river that winds under the historic center of Catania, originally flowed to the surface feeding the Lake of Nicito. Over the centuries eruptions, earthquakes and wars have changed not only the urban planning of the city, but also its natural appearance. We will visit a suggestive sliding cave in which a branch of the river still flows
