About Catania

Catania sits below Mount Etna on Sicily's east coast, its black lava-stone buildings and baroque churches rebuilt after the 1693 earthquake. The daily fish market behind the cathedral and a university-driven student scene keep the old town busy at street level, with the volcano visible from many corners.
