Catania, a city founded by the Greeks in 729 B.C., has a history rich in cultural legacies from Greek, Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Norman, Swabian, Angevin, Aragonese, and Spanish periods that you will find in its beautiful monuments. Today's predominantly eighteenth-century city is the result of reconstruction after the strong earthquake of 1693, built in the Sicilian Baroque style that has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Catania is truly a city to discover!
