Diocesan museum

The Diocesan Museum in Catania houses approximately 360 religious artworks from churches throughout the region, including paintings, sculptures, and liturgical objects spanning several centuries. The exhibition rooms are organized by thematic areas and present the range of sacred art collected from local parishes.

The museum was established to collect and preserve religious artworks from diocesan churches that might otherwise have been lost over time. This collection documents how sacred art traditions developed in the region across multiple centuries.

The exhibits display religious artworks from different periods that reflect the spiritual life of the local community. The rooms show paintings, sculptures, and sacred objects that were once used in churches throughout the region.

The museum is located in central Catania and is easily reached on foot, especially when exploring the Baroque architecture of the old city. The rooms are clearly arranged, making it easy to move through the exhibits at your own pace.

From the museum's terraces, visitors can see Mount Etna and the Baroque rooflines of the city, creating a memorable backdrop while viewing sacred art. This is a rare spot where you can connect religious artworks with the dramatic natural landscape that defines the region.
