Catania

Sicily's second city is a major transport and industrial hub, which means you have to look beyond the surface to discover the best of this city. Many hidden treasures such as a norman castle, roman amphitheatre, baroque palaces, antique markets and designer shops all interwovern.
The architechture is reinforced by the colours of the dark lava stone from the overshadowing mount Etna and white plaster.
Driving in Catania is second only to Palermo as an experience that will not be forgotten soon!
