Castello Ursino is one of the main tourist attractions of the city and the beating heart of the Catania nights. An area that has been completely revalued in recent years, which has seen it transform from a popular neighborhood to a trendy area. In this area there are the main monuments that describe the complex history of Catania, restaurants with seafood specialties and more, bars and a place where the main musical events are organized. Furthermore, the extraordinary historic market, rich in colors, smells and flavors, is just a short walk from the apartment. Staying in this area means you don't need a car at all, because everything is very close and can be reached with a simple walk.
Despite this, the area remains quiet, just a few steps from the Duomo, with a bus station 5 minutes from where you can reach the beaches and all the main destinations to the south: Siracusa, Ragusa, Noto, Piazza armerina, Modica. The nearest metro stations are Stesicoro and Porto.
A peculiarity on this area: the castle, an ancient medieval manor, overlooked the southern side of the sea. It was a military outpost. In the fifteenth century it was surrounded by leaning houses, but some of them were demolished to clear the area and create a parade ground. The lava flow of 1669, which terribly damaged part of the city, covered the sea by advancing the coast.
The area of ​​Castello Ursino has a large number of free and paid car parks. Those on payment can be recognized by the blue stripes on the road.
