From the museum, visitors can access the terraces of the Clerics' Seminary Palace and Porta Uzeda. These vantage points offer two distinct panoramas. One overlooks the Piazza del Duomo of Catania, featuring the Elephant Fountain and Via Etnea with the Etna volcano in the backdrop. The other panorama presents the walls of Charles V, the Port of Catania with the Marina Arches, and extends up to the Ursino Castle. These views provide a comprehensive perspective of Catania's landscape and architectural beauty.
Structure and Collections of the Museum
The museum is divided into two distinct sections. The first section houses the sacred furnishings of the Cathedral of Catania, providing a glimpse into the religious artifacts and their significance. The second section contains furnishings from other churches in the city and from churches in the Etna province, offering a broader perspective of the religious culture in the region. This section also includes an art gallery, further enriching the museum's collection.
