A good starting point for exploring Catania is the Piazza Del Duomo. The central square in the heart of the city contains some of Catania's best sights and is also worth visiting early in the morning. Firstly, in the middle of the piazza there is a pretty fountain called Fontana Dell’Elefante. Directly opposite you can't miss the Cathedral of Catania. But the Fontana Dell’Amenano and the Palazzo degli Elefanti are also worth a look. And as befits a real piazza, you will find numerous cafés and restaurants here for an espresso with a view - the perfect place to watch the hustle and bustle and enjoy the Sicilian sun. Piazza Del Duomo is an ideal starting point for a city tour of Catania, from which you can quickly reach many of the main attractions.

Fontana dell’Elefante (Elephant Fountain) In the middle of the Piazza del Duomo stands an elephant carrying a white, Egyptian granite obelisk on its back: the Fontana dell’Elefante. Vaccarini's work, which is well worth seeing, was made from black lava and symbolizes the zeal and energy of the Catanese. The residents of Catania showed great willpower by rebuilding their city, especially after natural disasters. The beautiful Elephant Fountain, one of the most popular attractions in Catania, was rescued from the rubble after the catastrophic earthquake of 1693. Inspired by Bernini's elephant statue in the Piazza Minerva in Rome, Vaccarini placed the approximately 4 meter high obelisk on the elephant's back, which is covered by a saddle blanket made of white marble.

The way over the bridge is closed to traffic. Don't be fooled by the ban. Easily accessible by bike. As a result, the driveway has very little traffic.

The beating heart of Catania which connects Via Etnea with the Piscaria market. If you want to enjoy it at sunset, go up to the terrace of the Ostello degli Elefanti (8 euros) for a drink overlooking the square and Etna.
