Catania: The Baroque Beauty Welcome to Catania, a city along the eastern shore of Sicily,  where the most famous part has survived intact with Baroque architecture. Much of it has been rebuilt after a catastrophic earthquake in 1693. The historic center has been added to the list of UNESCO World Heritage sites because of the important example of this art: it offers grand buildings, ornate churches, and elaborate public squares. Other landmarks are the Cathedral of Sant'Agata, the Palazzo Biscari, and the always-iconic Piazza del Duomo. All of these speak to the distinctiveness of Catania in proper synergy: history, artistry, and resilience.
