Square surrounded by buildings of the seventeenth century, center of city life in Catania.

The centre of city life, it is surrounded by 17th century buildings, including the Palazzo Senatorio, the seat of the municipality (Romanesque windows on the façade). After the earthquake of 1693, the idea of reconstruction was that of an imposing city, worthy of the Spanish magnificence of the time and of its administration. The Cathedral Square was thus born as the seat of civic and religious power and the centre of the new Baroque Catania. Nearby on the via Etnea, notice the city hall, nicknamed "the Elephant Palace", from the 18th century.

Une place touristique assez sympa avec la fontaine éléphant et la cathédrale de Sant'Agata et qui se situe en continuité de la rue Etnea.

Une très belle place ! Avec sa célèbre colonne aux éléphants et ses bâtiments taillés dans la roche volcanique.
Partez du marché aux poissons pour accéder à ce lieu mythique !

Belle place,bien entretenue, animée, bordée de cafés et restaurants (abordables malgré leur position centrale). Ne pas rater le marché au poissons tout proche.

Cette place est vivante : c'est un lieu touristique mais également le lieu de rendez-vous des vieux de la ville qui discutent en bas de la fontaine.
