Catania Cathedral, Roman Catholic cathedral in Catania, Italy
The Metropolitan Cathedral features a Baroque facade with granite Corinthian columns, marble statues, and wooden doors depicting Saint Agatha's life.
Originally constructed between 1078 and 1093 on Roman bath ruins, the cathedral underwent major reconstruction after the 1693 earthquake under architect Giovanni Battista Vaccarini.
The cathedral preserves the relics of Saint Agatha, Catania's patron saint, and holds religious ceremonies every February 5th during her feast celebration.
Located on Piazza del Duomo's southeast side, the cathedral contains thirty-two sculpted wooden panels and houses the tomb of composer Vincenzo Bellini.
The cathedral's 90-meter bell tower contains Italy's third-largest bell and incorporates elements from both Norman and Baroque architectural periods.
