Free walking tour of ancient Catania: memories of a glorious past

On this guided tour of Catania, you will learn about the ancient history of the city of elephant and its main monuments from Roman, Byzantine and Medieval times.

 Catania is called the pearl of the black baroque and is best known for the richness of its churches and the elegance of the buildings made of lava stone. Few people know that the city, subterranea, still preserves the memories of a glorious past that are hidden between the buildings, the alleys and under the squares of the city center. Come with me and discover an unexpected and unusual city.
I will tell you about the indissoluble relationship that this city has always had with Etna, its active volcano and about the importance of the Amenano River. A dive into the past to rediscover the beauties of a forgotten city covered by lava.

Hi everyone, I'm Tiziana, a regularly licensed tour guide in the Sicily region. Graduated in Interpretation and Translator, I have been working in the field of tourism since 2001. I started as a licensed tour leader around Sicily, Italy and abroad and this allowed me to get to know other worlds, with different cultures and languages. Since 2014 I have been working as a local tour guide in Sicily, mainly in the entire province of Catania, so I have deepened my historical, artistic and cultural knowledge of my city. Passionate about volcanology, archeology and medieval history, I love to tell the traditions of my land in 360 degrees from folklore to culinary specialties. My goal during the guided tours is to make my island known and, above all, to live like a "local Sicilian", with the sun always in my heart!

I will be under the elephant in Piazza del Duomo wearing a red badge (tour guide license for the Sicily region)
