This mountain in Catania is known for being the one of the oldest and most active volcanoes in Europe. At the peak, you can enjoy stunning views of the gorgeous Sicilian countryside, especially magical at sunset. Other than that, there are also incredible craters and ice caves to explore. To get to the summit, you'll need to book a tour, which is also a great opportunity to learn more about the fascinating geography and history of the volcano from an experienced guide. Don't forget to wear comfortable shoes and dress in layers, as temperatures can vary depending on the altitude.

The "Allied Landings in Sicily Museum" (Museo Storico dello Sbarco in Sicilia 1943) is housed in one of the buildings forming the "Ciminiere" cultural centre. The museum narrates the events that took place in Sicily from 10 July to 8 September 1943. This period is still recent history, only seventy years have passed and many senior citizens can still recount the experience. Everything that we have forgotten is now conserved in this museum which aims to protect our most precious asset: peace. The museum is arranged on three floors covering an area of 3,000 square metres, including a temporary exhibition area. By means of reconstructed settings the museum has tried to recreate the conditions of life before, during and after the war, using simulations, projections and original exhibits.

The most important private palace in Catania and precious testimony of the Sicilian baroque. The frescoed halls, full of charm and elegance, represent a splendid setting for concerts, meetings, receptions, gala evenings, fashion shows.
