Island of the SunIsland of the SunCatania was one of the main centers of the Sicilian Vespers revolt (1282) against the House of Anjou, and was the seat of the incoronation of the new Aragonese king of Sicily, Peter I. In the early 15th century, Sicily was turned into a province of the larger Kingdom of Aragon and with the unification of Castile and Aragon (early 16th century) Sicily became part of the Spanish Empire. Catania was one of the vanguards of the movement for the Sicilian autonomy in the early 19th century.In 1434 King Alfonso V founded here the Siciliae Studium Generale, the oldest university in the island.

Catania a fost unul dintre focarele principale ale revoltei „Vecerniile Siciliene” (cu urmări notabile asupra ansamblului situaţiei politice a întregii creştinătăţi medievale) împotriva Casei de Anjou şi a fost locul încoronării noului rege aragonez al Siciliei, Petru I. La începutul secolului XV Sicilia a devenit provincie a Regatului de Aragon iar la începutul secolului XVI, după unificarea Castiliei cu Aragonul, a făcut parte din Imperiul Spaniol. Catania a fost de asemenea în avangarda mişcării pentru autonomia Siciliei la începutul secolului XIX. În anul 1434 regele spaniol Alfonso V Magnanimul a fondat la Catania prima universitate din Sicilia.

There is a little Italian proverb that said:" Palermo grandeza, Catania belleza." This proverb purported that Palermo have the larger City, but Catania the beauty of Sicily.

Via Garibaldi duce la Poarta Garibaldi, un arc de triumf care s-a numit iniţial Porta Ferdinanda, ridicat cu ocazia căsătoriei regelui Ferdinand IV cu Maria Carolina de Austria (sora Mariei Antoanetta)

Via Garibaldi ends at Porta Garibaldi, formerly Ferdinanda, which was erected in 1768 in honour of the wedding of Ferdinand IV and Maria Carolina of Austria. This city-gate was designed by the architects Francesco Battaglia (inner part) and Stefano Ittar (the elegantly decorated outer part).

The Via Etnea is one of Sicily’s most famous streets. When the weather is clear it offers a wonderful view of the peak of the Etna volcanoe that thrones over the city.
