Do some people-watching at Piazza Universita. If its paved paths could talk, this historic square would have countless tales to tell.

You'll have no end of sightseeing choices when staying in Catania City Centre. Piazza Universita is a great place to begin here, but there are many other interesting spots to discover. Catania Cathedral, Ursino Castle, and Elephant Fountain are not far from the public square and will round out your day nicely.
