Catania
Catania is situated at the centre of the
Mediterranean sea. It is a natural stage where
the sun, the Jonio sea and the fire of Mount
Etna, blended to 2,700 years of history, are the
scenery for a daily unique performance.
Catania, due to its splendid location and to its
temperate climate, was since VIII century B.C.
subsequently conquered by several dominators:
Greeks, Romans, Goths, Byzantines, Arabs,
Normans, Swebians, French, Spanish, and
Austrians who have all left their “footprints”,
in the form of beautiful buildings, and in the
amiability and cordiality toward guests of the
local people.
A trip to Catania should be planned by anyone
who is looking for a fundamental rendezvous with
Culture, history and with the unique nature of
the highest active Volcano in Europe “Etna” and
also by those who want to easily reach the other
beautiful resorts in Sicily.
