In other words, if you&#8217;re wondering what to see in Catania, rely on our mini-guide and start planning your next trip here.<\/p><p>Let&#8217;s start with Mount Etna and its 59,000 hectares of park, the pine forest, black lava surfaces, and smoking craters. Pack something warm, even in August, and don&#8217;t miss a visit to the top of the volcano.<\/p><p>Once in the city, the first stop will be Castello Ursino, founded by Frederick II of Swabia in the 13th century and now a rich civic museum. As you stroll through the streets of the center, keep an eye on the black and white palaces overlooking large squares. First and foremost, Palazzo Biscari, the most important private palace in Catania and a precious testimony of Sicilian Baroque.<\/p><p>Now, take a break at Villa Bellini to see one of the two oldest gardens and one of the four main parks in Catania.<\/p><p>Finally, visit the Catania Cathedral, in whose marvelous square stands &#8216;O Liotru,&#8217; the little elephant symbol of the city, and take a walk along Via Etnea, the most important street that stretches for a whopping 3 km.<\/p><p>Do you have a bit more time? It will be well spent if you manage to visit the Pescheria di Catania, the ancient and bustling morning fish market reached by climbing a staircase of volcanic rock.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let yourself be captivated by the magnetic energy of a city with a long and tumultuous history, be swept away by its vitality, and enchanted by its art, architecture, and gastronomy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4624,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4491","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-non-categorizzato"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
