Catania: between Baroque and tradition

The tour lasts 2 hours
Available in French and Italian

Description

Stroll through the historic center of Catania to discover the main historical and artistic sites that bear witness to the restorative drive of the Sicilian people who, devastated by the eruptions of Mount Etna and earthquakes, are reborn to new life and beautified under the influence of the Baroque style. While enjoying the view of the city's main monuments (Cathedral, Via Crociferi, Archi della Marina, Piazza Università, Collegiata), you will have the opportunity to learn about the main religious traditions, the most important historical anecdotes, and the legends linked to the city. There will also be the chance to taste a good ARANCINO or a CANNOLO ALLA RICOTTA while enjoying the majestic view of Mount Etna. 

The visit requires the purchase of entrance tickets to enter the Cathedral and the Basilica Collegiata. They can be purchased online at the website https://www.artecclesiae.it/catania/orari-tariffe/ or physically at the ticket office of the Diocesan Museum. It is recommended to purchase the pass called "Via Etnea" to continue visiting freely, after the conclusion of the tour, the places of greatest interest. It should also be noted that visits inside the Cathedral are prohibited during religious services, and therefore on Sunday mornings, explanations are not guaranteed as masses are held at close intervals.
