This base camp for discovering Etna from its northern slope is served by the Ferrovia Circumetnea train. The origin of the town dates back to the Norman period. Its name comes from the presence of a tongue of lava rejected by the volcano around 1634. The tourist vocation of the city is now well established. Religious buildings are, of course, omnipresent with the churches of the Dominican fathers and of Saint Francis of Paola (1500), the mother church of Sainte-Marie-des-Grâces (which contains frescoes by Olivio Sozzi), which remains remarkable despite a restoration that did not respect the original construction, and the convent of the Capuchins (18th century)
