1. Anfiteatro Romano

The Black Colosseum, all to explore under the modern city!

Duration: 45 mins

2. Chiesa di San Gaetano alle Grotte

One of the most beautiful places in Catania. An ancient lava flow cave, already reused in Greek times as a cistern and then as a catacomb tomb by the Romans.

We will visit a suggestive sliding cave in which a branch of the river still flows
