Catania, Sicily, Italy cruises

Between Mount Etna and the Ionian Sea lies an ancient city that has suffered nature’s wrath and been rebuilt many times. For example, Catania’s Baroque palaces were built after an earthquake in 1693.

Originally founded by Greek colonists, ‘Katane’ was later conquered by the Romans. The Roman Theatre is one of the best examples of Roman architecture to survive centuries of natural disasters.
