Catania has burned, been buried by eruptions, and risen again — multiple times. And every time, it came back more beautiful. 🖤

Don't miss:
🐘 The Liotru — Catania's beloved lava-stone elephant fountain
⛪ Sant'Agata Cathedral in Piazza del Duomo
🐟 La Pescheria fish market — loud, fragrant, unmissable
🍝 Pasta alla Norma: born right here in this city
