Catania's Sacred Sites

Catania's religious architecture is defined by the Sicilian Baroque style, largely rebuilt after the 1693 earthquake. This collection features the Cathedral of Saint Agatha, which holds the patron saint's relics, and the huge church of San Nicolò l'Arena. Along Via Crociferi, 18th-century churches such as San Benedetto and San Giuliano show ornate facades and frescoed interiors, while smaller churches mark the places tied to the story of Saint Agatha.
