Basilica della Collegiata
On Via Etnea, the Collegiata’s curving Baroque facade is the main reason to pause. View it from the street and compare its shape with the cathedral’s front; interior access is a separate possibility.
Pause on Via Etnea for the curving front of Santa Maria dell’Elemosina, known as the Collegiata. Its facade gives the street a distinct Baroque moment amid the shops and traffic. Comparing its shape with the cathedral’s front helps you notice how Catania’s churches address different public spaces, even on a short walk.
