Come to the Sant' Agatha Feast on February, 3-5th... Catania is waiting for you!
Catania's most stirring religious feast is dedicated the city's holy patron, the young martyr Agatha. At the beginning of February the city is transformed and becomes a theatre rich in decorations, lights, votive fireworks, sounds and colours. Indeed, because it is impossible to speak of Catania without dealing with the santuzza, we have chosen to mark the most significant cities linked to the history and tradition of Saint Agatha. See the schedule.
