Catania: between Baroque and legend
- 2 hours
- 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, Piazza Università, Basilica 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.
The visit requires the purchase of entrance tickets to enter the Cathedral and the Basilica Collegiata. They can be purchased physically at the "ArtEcclesia" ticket office, taking advantage of a discount reserved for tour guides. It is recommended to purchase the pass called "Via Etnea" to continue visiting the most interesting places freely after the tour concludes. It should also be noted that visits inside the Cathedral are prohibited during religious services, and therefore the internal tour is not guaranteed on Sunday mornings.
