Catania boasts a thousand-year history characterized by various dominations whose remains enrich its artistic, architectural and cultural heritage. Under the Aragonese dynasty it was the capital of the Kingdom of Sicily, and since 1434 by order of King Alfonso V it has been home to the oldest University in the world. of the island. Throughout its history it has been affected by volcanic eruptions several times (the most impressive, in historical times, is that of 1669) and earthquakes (the most catastrophic ones recorded were those of 1169 and 1693).
The baroque of its historic center was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, together with that of seven municipalities of the Val di Noto (Caltagirone, Militello in Val di Catania, Modica, Noto, Palazzolo Acreide, Ragusa and Scicli), in 2002.
