캄포로톤도 에트네오‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪13‬개의 천연기념물

A beautiful and dreamy city with a great history. I'd happily return anytime. Five ***** for that.

Beautifully landscaped city park that invites you to take a walk and linger.

The oldest core of the garden dates back to the 18th century and belonged to Prince Ignazio Paternò Castello di Biscari. According to the typology of the time, the garden was designed with hedges forming labyrinths, statue decorations and numerous fountains of various shapes with gargoyles or cascades. After the patron's death in December 1786, the garden gradually fell into disrepair as it was abandoned by his heirs. It was offered for sale from 1820, but only after long negotiations was the Labirinto acquired by the municipality of Catania in September 1854.

The traffic on weekends can be annoying in this great landscape

Nice that the official climb only starts at an altitude of over 800 meters

Unfortunately, access is otherwise not open to the public... we were lucky that a nice resident opened the gate for us and let us take pictures 😃 We only found out about the tragic story of Gammazita afterwards https://it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pozzo_di_Gammazita

Completely hidden remains of an amphitheater in the middle of urban canyons.😻

The Giardino Bellini, also called Villa Bellini, is a park in Catania. It is on the Via Etna and is named after the composer Vincenzo Bellini.
