The Amphitheatre of Catania is a Roman amphitheatre in Catania, Sicily, southern Italy, built in the Roman Imperial period, probably in the 2nd century AD, on the northern edge of the ancient city at the base of the Montevergine hill. Only a small section of the structure is now visible, below ground level, to the north of Piazza Stesicoro. This area is now the historic centre of the city, but was then on the outskirts of the ancient town and also occupied by the necropolis of Catania. The structure is part of the Parco archeologico greco-romano di Catania.

San Benedetto is a late-Baroque architecture, Roman Catholic church and former Benedictine monastery in the city Catania, Sicily, southern Italy. The church facade faces Via Crociferi, parallels across via San Benedetto the former-Jesuit church of San Francesco Borgia, and both are about a block south along Crociferi from the church and convent of San Giuliano. Entrance to church and monastery appear to be through Piazza Asmundo #9 near the apse of the church.

San Michele Arcangelo ai Minoriti is a Roman Catholic parish church and attached monastery in the city center of Catania, region of Sicily, Italy. The former monastery, to the left of the facade, now houses shops on the ground-floor, and above are the offices of the Provincial government and the Prefettura or Prefecture (National office in province).

San Biagio, previously called Sant'Agata alla Fornace or La Fornace or Carcara is a Neoclassical architecture, Roman Catholic parish church located at the western edge of the Piazza Stesicoro in the quartiere San Biagio della Calcarella, of Catania, Sicily, southern Italy.

Piazza Dante is a mainly semicircular city square in the historic center of the city of Catania, in Sicily, Italy. The piazza stands in front of the facade of the unfinished San Nicolò l'Arena church. At the rear and sides of the church is the large former Monastery of San Nicolò l'Arena, which now houses the humanities department and library of the University of Catania. Two rectangular expansions flank the semicircle; the southern half contains ruins of the former Ancient Roman Baths of the former Acropolis of the town. The building flanking the semicircle, while somewhat weathered and aged, all sport the identical baroque design, suggesting they were part of an urban plan, likely from the 18th century, when the entire city was rebuilt after the 1693 Sicily earthquake.
