Description

Discover Catania’s dark legends and rich flavors on this atmospheric 90-minute evening walking tour. Begin your journey in the heart of the city, near Piazza Duomo, where the iconic Elephant Fountain stands watch. Here, your guide will unveil the legend of a mysterious medieval magician said to have made pacts with the devil beneath the city’s lava stone streets. Continue to Piazza Mazzini for your first tasting: a warm, crispy arancino paired with a glass of local Etna wine—a true taste of Sicily’s soul. As twilight deepens, wander along the baroque Via dei Crociferi, cloaked in silence and shadows. Hear the eerie tale of the Headless Horse, an 18th-century specter said to haunt the cobbled lane to protect the secrets of forbidden noble liaisons. On Via Etnea, pause to admire the silhouette of Mount Etna, whose fiery presence looms in both legend and life. From ancient gods to witches’ trails, the volcano has inspired centuries of fear and fascination. End your evening at the elegant Teatro Massimo Bellini, where you’ll savor a delicate cassatina and a glass of sweet passito wine. As you enjoy these traditional flavors, hear the moving story of Saint Agatha, the city’s patron saint, whose martyrdom still echoes through Catania’s stones.
