It sits quietly in the center of Catania, built in the 11th century, and was destroyed by many earthquakes during the period. Therefore, the main part of the church is now rebuilt in the 18th century. The church is carved with the statue of the Sacred Agata, the patron saint of Catania.

    The interpretation of the monastery of San Nicolo Benedict is official in Italian, our guide is Camelot, but also speaks a little English, the monastery itself is huge, and you can learn about Roman ruins, medieval architecture and Baroque architecture and paintings.

    This is the largest monastery on Sicily, with a strong Arabic style, because it is adjacent to the University of Catania, and it is also filled with a strong atmosphere of learning, and there are some painting exhibitions inside, there are quite a lot of things to see, recommended.
