Frequently asked questions
Catania's identity is built on layers: Greek and Roman remains, Arab and Norman influences, a devastating 1693 earthquake and the Baroque rebuild in lava stone. History and culture experiences here connect you to that story through opera tied to Bellini, castle and museum visits, or artisan workshops that keep old crafts alive.
