• Castello Ursino - Ursino Castle, with its name still debated, is situated in the center of a spacious square named after Frederick II of Swabia, the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Sicily. Originally, the castle was positioned near the sea, encircled by a moat and fortified with various defensive structures. The outer wall was constructed with precisely cut and systematically arranged lava stone blocks, while the inner wall was more irregular.
• A’ Piscaria Mercato del Pesce - The “Pescheria” of Catania is the city’s renowned fish market, nestled in the heart of the historic center, close to Piazza del Duomo and the Fontana dell’Amenano. Locals affectionately refer to it as “Piscarìa,” a term derived from the Sicilian dialect.
• Fontana dell’Amenano - Created in 1867 by Neapolitan sculptor Tito Angelini, the Fontana dell’Amenano is crafted from Carrara marble. This fountain honors the Amenano, the subterranean river flowing beneath the city of Etna.
• Piazza del Duomo - Piazza del Duomo is the vibrant core of Catania, located in the city’s historic center. This delightful square hosts some of the city’s most iconic landmarks, including the grand Cathedral of Sant’Agata, dedicated to the city’s patron saint.
• Basilica Cattedrale di Sant’Agata - Officially known as the Cathedral of Sant’Agata, Catania Cathedral is a significant example of Baroque architecture. Originally built in 1090 on the remnants of an ancient Roman temple dedicated to Jupiter, the cathedral was reconstructed after the 1693 earthquake that devastated much of the city.
• Piazza Università - Piazza Università derives its name from the Palazzo degli Studi, also known as Palazzo Università. A notable feature of this square is the four bronze lampposts at its corners, depicting figures from popular Catania legends: the young Gammazita, the sailor Cola Pesce with his underwater prowess, the brothers Anfinomo and Anapia, and the legendary Catania paladin Uzeta.
• Anfiteatro Romano - Beneath Piazza Stesicoro lies an ancient Roman theatre, dating back to the 1st century BC. This valuable archaeological site has been buried over the centuries by multiple eruptions of Etna and, as expected, seismic events.

Visitors are welcome to explore it independently!

• Via dei Crociferi - Crociferi Street is one of Catania’s oldest and most enchanting streets, located in the heart of the historic center. Known for its remarkable beauty, this street is frequently chosen as a film set due to its cinematic allure.
• Monastero dei Benedettini - The Benedictine Monastery of San Nicolò l’Arena in Catania has played a pivotal role in the city’s history, particularly in the eighteenth century, due to its magnificence, the opulence of its rooms, and the noble lineage of the monks who resided there.
