Catania Private Tour

At your chosen time, we'll meet in Piazza Federico II to begin our private tour of Catania, starting with the Ursino Castle, a significant fortress overlooking the square. Built between 1239 and 1250 for Frederick II of Swabia, it served as the residence of the Aragonese rulers, including Frederick III. Today, it is a key monument housing the city's civic museum.

Following the castle visit, we will stroll along Via Autieri and visit the ancient Roman baths, reaching the bustling fish market. Next, we will proceed to Piazza Duomo, home to the Elephant Fountain and various theories about its origins will be discussed during the tour.

Then we will explore the Cathedral of St Agatha, located at the site of the martyrdom of the patron saint, including the tomb of composer Vincenzo Bellini. The tour continues to the renowned Bellini Theatre, near the ruins of the Roman Amphitheatre and Piazza Dante, where we will see the Church of San Nicolò and the Benedictine Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

After a 2-hour journey through Catania's emblematic sites, we will conclude the tour.
