Museo Civico Castello Ursino
Introduction to the tour and the history of the castle
The Amenano, a mysterious underground river that winds beneath the historic center of Catania, originally flowed on the surface feeding Lake Nicito. Over the centuries, eruptions, earthquakes and wars have modified not only the urban planning of the city, but also its natural appearance. We will visit a suggestive flowing cave inside which a branch of the river still flows
Pozzo di Gammazita
A mysterious place, hidden 12 meters below street level, under the imposing lava front of 1669, which tells an ancient and fascinating legend of love and freedom.
