Why go
The elephant fountain, cathedral and civic palaces meet in Piazza del Duomo, the centre of Catania’s rebuilt Baroque core. Standing in the open square lets you read their relationships before choosing which building to enter. It is a useful orientation stop in its own right, with each surrounding monument deserving a separate visit.
