Catania, the Gray City, lives up to its name
Nevertheless, there are some very beautiful buildings here that are worth visiting.
I wouldn't want to miss the climb to the tower of the Benedictine monastery and the absolutely stunning view of the city and Mount Etna.

Nice tour made by Catania. Etna was actually planned for noon, but the volcano has sunk in the clouds 🙈
