A must see is the Cathedral Dome of St Agatha – named after the Patron Saint of Catania who was martyred here in the 3rd century AD and whose veil is said to protect the city from eruptions of nearby Etna. Other popular sights include the statue of the elephant right by the cathedral, the botanical gardens and Castel Ursino.
