Catania

"Catania is well-known for its vibrant street culture, stunning architecture, and rich history. Founded by Greeks in the eighth century BC, it has been influenced by a variety of civilizations, including the Romans, Byzantine, Arab, Norman, and Spaniards. The Ursino Castle, the Roman Amphitheater, and the Baroque Cathedral of Saint Agatha are just a few of the city's historical landmarks that you can visit. And don't forget its bustling street markets, where you can sample regional specialties and browse the vibrant display of handicrafts, fish, and fresh produce. "

"Catania is a vibrant city on the eastern coast of Sicily, located at the foot of Mount Etna, Europe’s most active volcano. Known for its rich history and Baroque architecture, the city features landmarks like the Piazza del Duomo with its iconic Elephant Fountain and the Catania Cathedral. Catania has a lively atmosphere, with bustling markets, a thriving nightlife, and a strong culinary tradition, especially known for seafood and local specialties like arancini. Its proximity to Mount Etna also makes it a gateway for exploring the volcanic landscape."

"A city that was destroyed by an earthquake in 1693 and rebuilt in a stunning Baroque style. This place is vibrant, authentic, loud, everything is an exaggeration. It's not plastic-like perfection and it'll take some time adjusting, but follow the spirit of the "Siculi" around you and soon you'll be one of them. "
