Catania's Absolute Essentials

Catania's historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is known for its Baroque buildings made from Mount Etna's dark volcanic stone. Piazza del Duomo holds the Cathedral of Saint Agatha and the lava-stone Elephant Fountain, with the noisy fish market just below. A short walk away stand the 13th-century Castello Ursino, the Roman theatre and the huge Benedictine monastery of San Nicolò l'Arena. Palazzo Biscari and the Teatro Massimo Bellini show the city's 18th- and 19th-century wealth.
