Things to do, attractions, interesting facts


Nicolosi

Area: Catania and Etna

Nicolosi is traditionally considered the Gate of Etna thanks to its strategic position which makes it a privileged access point to the volcano.
Its history is intimately linked to that of Etna: the eruptions of 1536 and 1537 and the earthquake of 1542 they destroyed the small Etna village built around the ancient monastery of San Nicolò l'Arena. Later the new town was rebuilt further downstream.
Thanks to the mild climate and healthy air, Nicolosi today represents a splendid holiday resort and an ideal tourist destination.
