Why visit Catania?
In Catania you will find a Sicily rich in smells, flavors and also rich in Baroque architecture. Precisely because of its Baroque heritage, this city, together with the Val di Noto, has been included in the Sicilian sites protected by UNESCO. Catania is the city of street food, pasta alla norma, spring onions, and cartocciate. A city full of life, but in a slow and relaxed way, where you can spend time between a visit to a monument, a swim in the sea, an aperitif.
