Piazza del Duomo
About
Welcome to the heart of Catania, Piazza Duomo! Your eyes will immediately be drawn to the iconic "Liotru," our Elephant Fountain, a beloved symbol of our city since 1736, carved from black lava stone. Dominating the square is the magnificent Catania Cathedral, dedicated to our patron saint, Agatha. Rebuilt numerous times after earthquakes, its Baroque façade, completed in 1711, holds centuries of history and resilience. Inside, you can feel the profound devotion locals have for Saint Agatha, especially during her vibrant feast day in February. Take a moment to simply soak in the lively atmosphere, grab a coffee, and watch the Catanese go about their day. It's the perfect spot to feel the pulse of our vibrant city, both day and night.
Local tip
Touch the Elephant Fountain for good luck, a symbol of Catania's resilience.
