What to expect

  2. Chiesa di San Gaetano alle Grotte
    20m · Admission ticket included
    One of the most beautiful places in Catania. An ancient lava flow cave, already reused in Greek times as a cistern and then as a catacomb tomb by the Romans. According to tradition, it was the site of the first deposition of Saint Agatha, on which a small church was built as early as 262. Today the crypt still preserves the remains of ancient frescoes and decorations carved directly into the living rock
  3. 10m · Admission ticket included
    The Amenano, a mysterious underground river that winds under the historic center of Catania, originally flowed to the surface feeding the Lake of Nicito. Over the centuries eruptions, earthquakes and wars have changed not only the urban planning of the city, but also its natural appearance. We will visit a suggestive sliding cave in which a branch of the river still flows
