Catania - From the sky

Welcome to #Catania!!
Our trip to the beautiful island of #Sicily will start from the majestic active #EtnaVolcano. Then we will enter the city from the elegant black and white #PortaFerdinandea before arriving to the #CastelloUrsino built in the 13th century as a royal castle of the Kingdom of Sicily. After that we'll move to the Church of St. Francis of Assisi 'all'Immacolata' and to the #RomanTheatreofCatania built in 300 BCE. Then we'll arrive to the near #ChurchofStFrancisBorgia and #ChurchofSaintBenedict built from April 1334, then it was destroyed by 1693 Sicily earthquake. From here we'll move to the #MonasteryofSanNicolòlArena founded in 1558 (a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the second biggest Benedictine monastery in Europe) before arriving at the #RomanAmphitheaterofCatania built in the Roman Imperial period, probably in the 2nd century AD in piazza Stesicoro
and next to the #PalazzoDelToscano. Then we'll move to the stunning #TeatroMassimoBellini named after the local-born composer #VincenzoBellini, it was inaugurated on 31 May 1890 with a performance of the composer's masterwork, Norma (it seats 1,200). We'll arrive then to the most iconic church of Catania: the #CathedralofSaintAgatha, it was the seat of the Bishops of Catania until 1859, when the diocese was elevated to an archdiocese, and since then has been the seat of the Archbishops of Catania. It stands in front of the #ElephantFountain in #PiazzaDuomo and next to the #FontanadellAmenano. Our visit in Catania will end with the beautiful view from the port.
