Catania Cruises

Founded in the 8^th century B.C, Sicily’s second largest city, Catania, is located on the shores of the Ionian Sea, in the shadows of Mount Etna. The volcano has had much to do with the history of Catania, as its eruptions destroyed much of the original architecture. They were replaced with Baroque monuments made from the volcano’s lava - most notable of which is the Cathedral, one of the highlights of the UNESCO-Listed Historic Centre, and completely unique to Catania.
