Baroque octagonal church from 1741-1763, built according to plans by Palazzotto. Between the pillars, four large apses and four smaller chapels alternate; the main altar is in the eastern apse. From the dome you have a beautiful view of Mount Etna and the city

Well hidden in a small side-road quite a bit away from the touristic center of Catania, but very well worth a visit. Entry is just a few Euros for the church, the back room and, most importantly, the roof. And that roof offers an amazing few over Catania and up to the Etna.
