The Roman Amphitheatre, Castello Ursino...on this night tour of Catania, we'll admire one of the most beautiful cities in Sicily lit up after dark.
Tour Description
At the indicated time, we'll start this night tour of Catania from the central Piazza Vincenzo Bellini, where we'll admire the illumination of the iconic Teatro Massimo Bellini. Did you know that it's one of the reference centres for culture in Sicily?
After learning about the history of this temple of opera, we'll take a stroll through the San Berillo neighbourhood. We'll wander through its picturesque narrow streets, whose particular charm is even more attractive under the moonlight. We'll also see different urban murals, on which the artists have painted colourful and expressive graffiti.
Next, we'll walk along the emblematic Via Gemellaro and admire the illuminated façade of the Monte Sant'Agata bank. We'll also walk along Via dei Crociferi, an authentic open-air museum, as it's a street that houses dozens of architectural gems of the Sicilian Baroque.
The next stop will be in front of the Roman Amphitheatre of Catania, one of the largest in Sicily. We'll also stop in front of Castello Ursino, which was one of the few monuments in the city that withstood the earthquake of 1693.
Finally, after a 2.5-hour walking tour, we'll conclude our night tour of Catania by the Fish Market.
