Catania, the city
Catania, is the second largest city in Sicily, and among the ten largest cities in Italy.
It is located on Sicily’s east coast, at the base of the active volcano, Mount Etna, and it faces the Ionian Sea. It is the capital of the 58-municipality region known as the Metropolitan City of Catania, which is the seventh-largest metropolitan city in Italy. The population of the city proper is 311,584, while the population of the Metropolitan City of Catania is 1,107,702.
Catania today is the industrial, logistical, and commercial center of Sicily.
.However the central “old town” of Catania features exuberant late-baroque architecture, prompted after the 1693 earthquake, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
During the 14th century, and into the Renaissance period, Catania was one of Italy’s most important cultural, artistic and political centres.
It was the site of Sicily’s first university, founded in 1434.
Catania was founded in the 8th century BC by Chalcidian Greeks.
The city has weathered multiple geologic catastrophes: it was almost completely destroyed by a catastrophic earthquake in 1169.
A major eruption and lava flow from nearby Mount Etna nearly swamped the city in 1669 and it suffered severe devastation from the 1693 Sicily earthquake.
