Parks and Gardens
Escape from the city heat and congestion to Villa Bellini, the "Central Park" of Catania, reached by heading north along Via Etnea. Planted with such exotics as Brazilian araucavias, the park sprawls over several hills. This is one of the most attractive public parks in Sicily, and for some reason maintenance is higher here than it is in most of Catania's public monuments or gardens. The Catanians claim that the fig tree planted in this park is the world's largest. Unique in Italy is the floral clock and calendar on the hillside. Stand on a hill here and be rewarded with a panoramic view of Mount Etna.
