Cappella Bonajuto

The Cappella Bonajuto features a Greek cross design with a square plan, three apses, and a central dome inside a Baroque palace.

Built between the sixth and ninth centuries AD, the chapel survived the 1693 earthquake that destroyed much of Catania's architecture.

The structure incorporates Byzantine architectural elements and medieval decorations, representing the religious traditions of early medieval Sicily.

Located two meters below street level at Via Bonajuto 7, the chapel opens Tuesday through Friday from 9:30 AM to 1:00 PM.

The chapel maintains its original Byzantine construction features, including the triple-church design known as cellae trichorae.
