Palazzo degli Elefanti
Catania’s town hall forms the civic backdrop to Piazza del Duomo. Its Baroque façade is easy to appreciate from the square; public access to the rooms inside varies.
Stand in Piazza del Duomo to see how the municipal palace frames the city’s main square. It remains the seat of Catania’s government, so the ornate front is more than a historic façade: it is the working civic counterpart to the religious buildings nearby. The exterior makes a worthwhile short stop while exploring the square.
