Churches in Catania

Catania's churches mostly date from the 18th century, rebuilt after the earthquake of 1693, with dark lava stone set against pale limestone. The Cattedrale di Sant'Agata holds the patron saint's relics and Bellini's tomb. Next door, the dome of the Badia di Sant'Agata looks out over the whole city. On Via dei Crociferi is the octagonal Chiesa di San Giuliano, and on Via Etnea the Basilica della Collegiata has one of the finest façades. Cover shoulders and knees to go in: many close in the middle of the day.

The centre is easy to cover on foot; the planner puts the stops in order around the time you have.

Your browser will ask to share your location

It's only used to work out how many minutes' walk you are from each place open right now.

  • We only use it to work out distances, and we don't keep it. If you share a walk, its starting point in the link is rounded to about 100 metres.
  • No account, no history, no notifications.
  • Rather not? Pick the city yourself: it works just as well.
