Why go

The cathedral anchors Piazza del Duomo, but its interior deserves time apart from the square. Rebuilt after the 1693 earthquake on the site of its Norman predecessor, it lets you read two layers of the city’s religious history in one building. It also gives substance to the central place Saint Agatha holds in Catania.
