Catania, Sicily and Surroundings
Catania is situated near the world famous Mt Etna. Its elegant buildings are mostly the work of Baroque master Giovanni Vaccarini.
Catania is Sicily’s second city – a thriving, entrepreneurial centre with a large university and a resilient population who live by the motto of carpe diem.
Sicily is Italy's (and Europe's) most historically cosmopolitan region, having been ruled by Middle Eastern, North Africans and European powers during its history. It is a unique place full of art, archaeology, history, folklore and breathtaking scenery. And, of course, great food.
Here are a few of the historic inhabitants of the island of Sicily to get you history buffs excited:
- Archimedes taught here and Saint Paul preached here. It was a Greek colony, a Roman province, an Arab emirate and a Norman kingdom
- Greek tyrants, Arab emirs, Norman knights, Byzantine bishops and Holy Roman Emperors, the Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Swabians, Angevins, Aragonese and Jews all passed through here and left their indelible marks.
- Their legacy: Phoenician settlements, Punic cities, Greek temples, Roman amphitheatres, Norman-Arab castles and Aragonese churches. Sicily has thirty centuries of history expressed in the Classical, the Romanesque, the Gothic, the Baroque and the present.
