Ancient architectural and natural wonders in Catania

Discover architectural charm, from the colorful piazzas to Roman ruins and ornate cathedrals. The Palazzo degli Elefanti, and Cattedrale di Sant’Agata are among the most impressive, not to mention the 13th-century Ursino Castle. This city is also defined by its natural beauties. It sits at the base of the 11,000-foot active volcano, and several hiking trails wind to the top for those intrepid enough to brave the mountain.
