Overview
Do you want to discover the power of Sicily's most famous volcano? In this tour we will see how Etna changed Catania! We meet in front of the church of San Nicolò, where we begin a tour in which the protagonist will be the Etna volcano. First of all, we enter the courtyard of the Benedictine monastery of Catania where we will see important traces of the 1669 eruption still visible today. We continue our visit going down towards the Roman Theatre, while I will tell you the story of the Amenano river, a river which exists currently underground. Then we reach the Ursino Castle, a medieval fortress almost completely surrounded by the eruption of 1669, and we will walk around it. From there, if the tour is in the morning, I will show you an amazing underground lava cave, if the tour is in the afternoon, I will show you the Gammazita Well, an evocative well surrounded by a fascinating legend that I will tell you about the place. We continue the tour to Villa Pacini, where I will give you some advices about the typical food in Catania and some good bar and restaurants!
