Today home to the DiSUM of the University of Catania, the Monastery is a unique place that tells the human and historical events of the city of Etna from ancient times to the present day.

Hiking

A guided tour through the 2nd largest monastery in Europe, the UNESCO WORLD CULTURAL HERITAGE is very worthwhile. Admission €10 per person, Italian or English. Built after the 1693 earthquake, the monastery is extremely interesting and is now a university of humanities.
