Here an example of possible city sightseeing tour in Catania tha you could experience...
- In the morning: The better way to experience the sunny city is on foot. Take a walk around Catania tour walking and take notice of the architecture. Catania is the Queen of the Baroque and makes you love it. The centre has some beautiful buildings and interesting museums. All of the main sights are accessibile by walking in Catania, the most important Sicilian resort city. For orientation, the main roads of Via Etnea and Via Vittorio Emanuele II meet at the Piazza del Duomo.
Piazza Duomo is the heart of the city's 'Centro' and of our sightseeing in catania. To the South, through the Porta Uzeda, is the port of Catania, to the north Via Etnea is the more urban part of the town. All around you can see Vaccarini's heavy black and grey lava-stone buildings, rebuilt after that the earthquake of 1693 destroyed the city. Highlights here and nearby are: The Duomo, the Elephant Statue, The 'Lenzuolo' Fountain, The Fish Market, Via Etnea, The City Hall and so on.
The Cathedral is placed in one of the main squares in Catania. Though rebuilt on Baroque and neo-classical models, the oldest part of the Cathedral (duomo) was constructed in 1092. Several royal personages are buried there, including Frederick III of Aragon and Queen Constance, wife of Frederick IV
In Cathedral square is situated also
the symbol of Catania, the 18th century Elephant Statue made of lava stone supporting an Egyptian obelisk on its back.
One of the place you can't miss in the sunny catanese mornings is the
Fish Market. This place is very large and many stands sell huge amount of fresh fishes . The noise is high: each fishmonger screams price and attribute of his goods and invite you to taste their fish.
The City Hall is situated on one side of the wonderful Piazza del Duomo. Like most of the city centre, the building was built after the earthquake that devastated this area of Italy in 1693. Its main architect was Giovan Battista Vaccarini, who designed many of the most relevant buildings you see today in Catania. The building was built in late-baroque style. Don't miss the entrance hall where you can see two perfectly preserved 18th century carts that are used once a year by the city's authorities, during the celebrations of St. Agata.
- In the afternoon: In the afternoon Catania is a heavy, darkly-colored stone city under a brilliant blue sky. Villa Bellini relieves the grey and black of lava stone with the green of vegetation. This is really a large park, dedicated to the famous Catanese composer. There are amusements for children, fields for gaming, and the occasional snack vendor to complement the coloured and picturesque daytime atmosphere. There is lots and lots of statuary in the park very nice to wander through. The park is fairly clean and peaceful to be completely urban .
Stesicoro square is one of the biggest and most important squares of the city. Dedicated to a poet who lived in and fell in love with Catania. You can visit here: Statue of Bellini,
Buried Roman Amphiteatre and Candy Vendors selling all sorts of typical Sicilian sweets, particularly during the Christmas holidays and during the festival of St. Agata .
Roman anphitheatre is Its most interesting thing to see even though it is invisible, in fact the Roman amphitheatre withstood destruction caused by lava and earthquakes.
So there are the remains of an entire city buried under modern central Catania. The strangest thing about this theatre is, that the entrance is through the front door of what looks like a small museum in a busy traffic street. Once inside is great to stroll around, it keeps you busy for an hour or so.
