Resplan
Ursino slott, vars namn fortfarande är osäkert, ligger i mitten av ett stort torg uppkallat efter den helige romerske kejsaren och kungen av Sicilien, Fredrik II av Schwaben. Till en början stod byggnaden mycket nära havet, omgiven av en vallgrav och skyddad av flera försvarsstrukturer. Ytterväggen byggdes med väl fyrkantiga och regelbundet arrangerade lavastensklackar, medan den andra, mer inre, väggen var mycket mer oregelbunden.
"Pescheria" i Catania är den berömda fiskmarknaden i staden, belägen i hjärtat av den historiska stadskärnan, nära Piazza del Duomo och Fontana dell'Amenano. Det kallas vanligtvis av folket i Catania "Piscarìa", en term som kommer från den sicilianska dialekten.
Fontana dell’Amenano skapades 1867 av den napolitanske skulptören Tito Angelini i Carrara-marmor. Denna fontän är tillägnad Amenano, den underjordiska floden som rinner under staden Etna.
Piazza del Duomo är Catanias pulserande hjärta, beläget i stadens historiska centrum. Detta charmiga torg är hem för några av stadens mest ikoniska monument, inklusive den majestätiska katedralen Sant'Agata, tillägnad stadens skyddshelgon.
Catania-katedralen, officiellt känd som katedralen Sant'Agata, är ett viktigt exempel på barockarkitektur. Byggd 1090 på resterna av ett antikt romerskt tempel tillägnat Jupiter, byggdes katedralen senare om efter jordbävningen 1693, som förstörde mycket av staden.
Piazza Università har fått sitt namn från Palazzo degli Studi, även känt som Palazzo Università. En av de utmärkande delarna av detta torg är de fyra bronslyktstolparna placerade i dess hörn, som representerar figurer från populära Catania-legender: den unga Gammazita, sjömannen Cola Pesce med sina undervattensfärdigheter, bröderna Anfinomo och Anapia, och den legendariska Catania-paladinen Uzeta.
Under Piazza Stesicoro ligger en gammal romersk teater med anor från 1:a århundradet f.Kr. Denna värdefulla arkeologiska plats har under århundraden sänkts av flera utbrott av Etna och, som du kanske föreställer dig, seismiska händelser. Vi kommer inte in men du kan besöka den själv om du vill!
Crociferi Street är en av de äldsta och mest suggestiva gatorna i Catania, belägen i hjärtat av den historiska stadskärnan. Denna väg, känd för sin extraordinära skönhet, väljs ofta ut som uppsättning för filmer, tack vare sin filmiska charm.
Benediktinerklostret San Nicolò l'Arena i Catania har varit en grundläggande referenspunkt i stadens historia, särskilt under sjuttonhundratalet, tack vare dess storhet, rikedomen i dess rum och det ädla ursprunget för munkarna som levde. det.

Practical, easy to use, intuitive, and very complete
Well-made guide, it pleasantly accompanies you in discovering Catania. So many interesting explanations!
Totally enjoyed my self guided walking tour. It was so easy to open the tour and follow the prompts. Information was provided for each point of interest in both written and audio form and was always interesting. I was given the option to use the tour over several days. And, I took advantage of that spreading it over 2 days so I could take my time and make little gelato stops along the way.
It was new and excelent experience
Went fine, good experience to be helped through the city's sights. Otherwise we weren't that far around.
I really enjoyed my walking tour of Catania. The app is easy to use. I liked that I could both listen and read because I lost internet access a couple of times. I am impressed with the number of interesting sites covered, and the detail. I did not have a lot of time to spend in Catania so the flexibility of a self guided tour was great.
We were skeptical at first about how this would work, but were thrilled at the end. It all worked out great from the start. Clear and understandable explanations of the respective objects were given. Then one was directed to Google Maps via a button, which then led me to a suggested route to the next landmark. But I found the best and special banger: you could also interrupt this path and go to dinner, or take another road, you were always included in the program and led to the sight. I would also like to point out that you could have the explanations read out as often as you wanted if you had not understood something correctly. For this you just had to push the player back and so you could hear it again. Personally, I found that much better than the guided tour with a guide in person. So all in all I found it a successful app and can only highly recommend this type of viewing. But I still have a small improvement suggestion: That one would give recommendations for the parking garages which in the middle or beginning or end. Then it would be the icing on the cake for me. But... and I would like to mention this, I had also given the question about the parking garages to the organizer via WhatsApp about the ticket load. For this I did not get as needed or desired immediately, but later. We had already found a parking garage ourselves. What I would like to mention, however, is that it really responded to my request. This shows me that the service is not only superficial, but also practiced. One more recommendation from me: The garage Siesicoro in VIA Gambino 25 I would recommend the parking garage is super clean and very tidy staff. You have to hand over the car key because the car is parked by the staff, but when we wanted to pick up our convertible unannounced, we saw how neatly our car was parked and it was handed over to us again. So for me also all the stars to recommend. And.... you can also experience a huge market at the same time if you go to the 2 corners.
I was unable to access the link. However, I was able to use the internery to navigate through it on my own. The link is not clickable or copy able, so I just didn't use it. It was disappointing
The routing and the content were generally good, and the link between Google maps and the tour guide worked well. The commentary seemed like each station was written entirely independently of each other leading to quite a lot of repetition. The English audio version uses an AI American voice similar to Google maps, with truly terrible pronunciation of local place names... this is lazy and inexcusable, very grating!
Ciao! I'm happy that you appreciated our content! We just updated our audio quality so now is going to be even better than before! I hope that this review will help other travellers!
Really enjoyed this walking tour and being able to do it at my own pace and the added extras were a bonus. It was definitely worth the money. Brilliant value.
