Misterbianco, Administrative commune in Metropolitan City of Catania, Italy
Misterbianco extends across 37.51 square kilometers at an elevation of 213 meters above sea level, located 7 kilometers from the city of Catania.
The original settlement and monastery were completely buried during the Mount Etna eruption of 1669, leading to the establishment of a new town in the Milicia area.
The Mother Church represents post-1669 architecture with classical design elements in its nave and dome, while the facade displays medieval architectural influences.
The municipality contains industrial zones for furniture manufacturing, pasta production, metalworking, and food processing, making it a commercial center in eastern Sicily.
The name derives from Monasterium Album, referring to a Benedictine monastery where monks wore white robes, marking the historical foundation of this settlement.
