Catania Private Tour

We will meet at your chosen time in Piazza Federico II to begin our private tour, starting with the Ursino Castle, built between 1239 and 1250 under Frederick II. This castle served as the residence for Aragonese rulers and now houses the city's civic museum.

After the castle, we will walk along Via Autieri and visit the ancient Roman baths to reach the fish market. Here, we will explore the kiosks before arriving at Piazza Duomo, home to the Elephant Fountain, with multiple theories about its origins discussed during the tour.

Next, we will visit the Cathedral of St Agatha, located on the site of the martyrdom of the patron saint, where we will also see the tomb of composer Vincenzo Bellini. We will then proceed to the Bellini Theatre, the Roman Amphitheatre ruins, and Piazza Dante, featuring the Church of San Nicolò and the Benedictine Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

After 2 hours of exploring these emblematic locations, we will conclude the tour and bid farewell to our guide.
