Europe's highest active volcano: Its height varies due to constant eruptions, but usually remains around 3,357 meters. This makes it the most prominent landmark in Sicily. UNESCO World Heritage Site: Due to its geological significance and the almost complete documentation of its eruptions since antiquity, it has been a World Heritage Site since 2013. Constant activity: Mount Etna is almost constantly active. It belongs to the "Strombolian" type of volcano, meaning that smaller explosions, lava fountains, and ash clouds occur regularly. Fertile soil: Despite the danger, the local residents value the volcano. The weathered lava is extremely nutrient-rich, enabling the cultivation of excellent wine, pistachios (from Bronte), and citrus fruits. Myths and legends: In Greek mythology, the volcano was considered the workshop of the blacksmith god Hephaestus (Vulcan) and the prison of the gigantic monster Typhon.

Catania's Pescheria is the city's ancient fish market. Now a tourist attraction, it remains the place where locals stock up on their catch. Surrounding it are a wide variety of restaurants and bars, which are very popular even in the evenings.

Along the coastal road, you can admire both the beaches of Catania and Mount Etna. At 3,403 meters high, the volcano is particularly spectacular when the summit craters are covered in snow.

A truly beautiful center in Catania. Absolutely gorgeous here! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for that!

Beautiful well organized complex

I had this beautiful vision while walking along the old tuna fishery of Santa Panagia, early in the morning...

The center of Catania with its historic buildings and beautiful squares, as well as the inviting promenade is simply beautiful and worth a visit.

From 9th to 11th May, feast of the Patron Saints Alfio, Filadelfo and Cirino. Among the crucial moments of the festival we remember the exit of the Nuri (naked): At 1:00 on May 10th the Nuri riding the Giro Santo. They are bare-chested, barefoot men, wearing only a pair of short white trousers and a red ribbon, holding one hand behind their back and a candle or a bouquet of flowers in the other. They run through the streets of Lentini remembering the tour that the Holy Martyrs made, amidst atrocious suffering, around the ancient city walls. The women also arrive behind them, barefoot.
