What to do in
Catane ?
Catania is Sicily’s second-largest city. It doesn’t have the same prestigious heritage as the historical capital, Palermo, due to its eventful history. It has been devastated seven times by the neighbouring Mount Etna. However, like a Phoenix, it has risen from the ashes, and now it is the economic lungs of the island. A youthful and animated city because of its university, with an attractive baroque heritage and near to some of the most beautiful sites in Sicily, Catania is worth not just a detour, but an entire holiday!
