    (Translated by Google) This church is one of the many spectacular churches found in via Crociferi. You can independently climb to the top of the dome and observe the wonderful panorama of Catania. With 4 euros you can visit the church with an audio guide, while children do not pay. The room where the cloistered nuns sang during mass is interesting. It has a circular plan, unlike the other churches. (Original) Questa chiesa è una delle tante spettacolari chiese che si trovano in via Crociferi. Si può salire autonomamente fino alla cima della cupola e osservare il meraviglioso panorama di Catania. Con 4 euro si visita la chiesa con audio guida, mentre i bambini non pagano. Interessante la sala dove cantavano le suore di clausura durante la messa. Ha pianta circolare, a differenza delle altre chiese.

    (Translated by Google) This beautiful church from the path LE VIE DEI TESORI. Located in the splendid Via Crociferi, a UNESCO heritage site for its baroque style. The church, unlike the classic churches divided into naves, has a circular plan. There is still the room where the cloistered nuns gathered to sing during the masses. It is possible to climb the dome to admire a fantastic panorama from which you can see Catania from above: depending on where you look you can admire the cathedral with the sea behind it, the Benedictine Monastery or his majesty Etna. Entrance fee 5 € and it is worth it all. I hope it will always be kept at its best and other such promotions will be started. (Original) Questa bellissima chiesa da parte del percorso LE VIE DEI TESORI. Situata nella splendida Via Crociferi, patrimonio dell'UNESCO per il suo barocco. La chiesa, a differenza delle classiche chiese suddivise in navate, é a pianta circolare. Vi è ancora la sala dove si radunavano le suore di clausura per cantare durante le messe. È possibile salire sulla cupola per ammirare un fantastico panorama dal quale si vede Catania dall'alto: in base a dove si rivolge lo sguardo si può ammirare la cattedrale con dietro il mare, il Monastero dei Benedettini o sua maestà Etna. Prezzo d'ingresso 5€ e li vale tutti. Spero venga sempre tenuta al meglio e vengano iniziate altre promozioni del genere.

    (Translated by Google) Interesting church, simple but open to the public, including access to the canteria and the dome from which to enjoy a magnificent view of Catania. 4e access for adults, free for children (Original) Chiesa interessante, semplice ma visitabile interamente, compreso l'accesso alla canteria e alla cupola da cui godere un panorama magnifico su Catania. 4e l'accesso per gli adulti, gratuito per i bimbi

    Worthwile location to visit while in Catania. Great rooftop view. Breathtaking and inspiring. Careful - visits seem to end at around 12.00 (maybe lunch break/siesta) so plan accordingly. Entrance costs 4 euro.

    €4 entry fee, well worth it as inside has an interesting layout, but the 5* is because you can go to the very top and get panoramic views of Catania.

    Hidden gem close to the city centre. Not the nicest church in the town but definitelly worthy to visit because ot the roof top views. We had the whole church for our own as it seems it is not so much visited by the turists.

    The church itself isn't really worth seeing in my opinion, but the rooftop views are great and it's a nice game to find your way to the very top:)

    (Translated by Google) It is worth a visit to climb to the top of the dome and observe the wonderful panorama of Catania, with a few euros you can visit the church with an audio guide and climb independently up to the dome (Original) Vale la pena di visitarla per salire fino in cima alla cupola e osservare il meraviglioso panorama di Catania , con qualche euro si visita la chiesa con audio guida e si sale in autonomia fino alla cupola

    (Translated by Google) We were greeted by the very kind Luisa who, once she explained us the tour of the church and its beauties, opened the way to the suggestive church of San Giuliano. Climbed towards the dome up to the lantern we were then able to admire the wonderful panorama of Catania from above, leaving us speechless! I really recommend visiting it. (Original) Siamo stati accolti dalla gentilissima Luisa che, una volta spiegatoci il giro della chiesa e delle sue bellezze, ci ha aperto la strada verso la suggestiva chiesa di San Giuliano. Saliti verso la cupola fino alla lanterna abbiamo poi potuto ammirare il meraviglioso panorama di Catania dall'alto, lasciandoci a bocca aperta! Consiglio veramente di visitarla.

    Well hidden in a small side-road quite a bit away from the touristic center of Catania, but very well worth a visit. Entry is just a few Euros for the church, the back room and, most importantly, the roof. And that roof offers an amazing few over Catania and up to the Etna. Seriously, go there and have a look!

    The church itself is quite bare but the views from the rooftop are worth the admission price - honestly better that the, more visited, St. Agatha ones because of a better view of the Duomo

  • 5/5 Tomas D. 11 months ago on Google
    a simple church, the most interesting thing is the possibility to climb up to the top of the dome, where you can see the whole area beautifully, this is the highest point in the city
