Located on the east coast of Sicily, at the foot of the active volcano Mount Etna, Catania is a cultural and architectural gem draped in history and natural beauty. As Italy's 7th largest city, it boasts an abundance of ancient structures such as the magnificent Teatro Romano, an ancient Roman theatre, and the impressive Duomo di Catania, a historic baroque style cathedral dedicated to Saint Agatha. Notably, Catania's old town is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site, featuring a unique blend of Baroque and Romanesque architecture. Known as a major hub of Italian culture, food and music, Catania is also notable for its traditional street markets such as La Pescheria, which showcases a vibrant array of fresh seafood.

Catania

Catania is a beautiful place with many gorgeous things to see. The ocean is fantastic and there is lots of wonderful food to be found. One thing to know though, the streets are full of men and I was catcalled a lot. Not many women or children out in the streets but the city centre is still pretty safe.
