Piazza Università

Piazza Università was so beautifull, especially at the evening and we loved it.

We had an ice cream, coffee in a beautiful piazza.

The Piazza Università is a lovely place, one you should not miss when you are in Catania. The Plaza is flanked by ornate 18th-century buildings & 4 bronze lampposts that depict Catania legends. It is the main square of Catania and is also home to the landmark of the city: the Fontana dell'Elefante.
As I walked the square and admired the beautiful buildings and the Basilica, I was amused by a group of old fellows (you can find them in one of the photos below) who had parked themselves on the stairs of the Fontana, assuring that they would be in every photo taken that morning 😉 If you choose, you may walk through the beautiful Basilica. Another interesting possibility? For three Euro, one can tour the Roman baths which have been excavated underneath the church. One surprising thing about my visit here was discovering the fabulous fruit stands on a surrounding street - bellisima!

Nice place. Don't have a photo with a colored elephant, as if you weren't even in Catania :)

In this beautiful place I participated in my first Talent show, at the age of 18 and a migrant, I wrote a poem about immigration and integration and I won. It's a beautiful place that narrates perfectly well the historical event of Catania.
Catania is a beautiful city that accommodates everyone.
Happy touring.

This is a beautiful place. Went on Dec 21 where there is Christmas market and various stalls selling food and accessories. There are also various shops and restaurants around.

Beautiful square with a Christmas market all around! Very beatiful especially in the night!

Nice piazza with many restaurants, cafes, and other things to do in the surrounding.

Very beautiful piazza. Worth visiting!

Full of cafes, gelaterias and good baroque architecture, very touristy and always crowdy

This is a nice place to see the sights and buy souvenirs

One of the beautiful squares in Catania. It is in a central location and it is in a walking distance frim each location which you would need to go!
The architecture of the building is a typical Catanian style.

Visit at night and admire the wonderful buildings all around the square.

Beautiful plaza with lots of stuff to see

Bound by history. This is quite a large piazza. It has the old 'elite" university, which you can enter. The library here can also be entered. Small rooms were an indication of the amount of students able to study in the time gone by.

Very beautiful, the elephant was cute

Busy plaza with lots of interesting things going on at all times. There aren't many shaded areas so there's not much to do during the summer days but the evenings are very pleasant. Events are being held here on a regular basis.

Don't forget to take a photo with the colorful elephant that's in one of the corners.

Nice place to sit around and watch crowds move around. Wow often there are performers singing. Having a sunny warm day makes it perfect.

A beautiful Italian Piazza, not far from the Dome.

I've added some details of that piazza.
