Catania isn’t the most interesting city on the island. There are some ruins, but they don’t compare with other ruins on the island. There’s also a flea market and the places acraven mentioned. The places we had on our visit list included
Piazza del Duomo & fish market
Piazza Carlo Alberto di Savoia - flea market (not on sunday)
Cathedral de Sant'Agata
Archeological complex, Terme della Rotonda
Anfiteatro romano
Roman theater
Piazza Federico de Svevia by Ursino castle
Paticceria Savia, 302/304, Via Etnea - pastry shop. If closed there’s another pastry shop beside it.
