Chiesa della Badia di Sant'Agata

Absolutely beautiful! The Chiesa Badia di Sant’Agata is a true treasure in Catania. The baroque architecture is stunning, and climbing up to the dome gives you breathtaking panoramic views of the city and Mount Etna. It’s peaceful, well-kept, and full of history. A must-visit while in Catania — both for the church itself and the unforgettable view from the top!

Go up to the dome, beautiful views from top. There is an elevator if you can’t or don’t want to walk up the stairs.

10000% worth the ticket (don't forget the last set of narrow stairs to the very top viewpoint) - truly breathtaking!

A beautiful church, which is also a concert venue, is very close to the cathedral. This has an impressive dome which you can climb up to for lovely views of the town and Etna.

The top walkway offers an amazing view of downtown and mount Etna. It is only open in the morning and afternoon. There are roughly 150 steps to climb in a narrow staircase. There is a cover charge for the rooftop but the church can be visited for free. The church itself is small but very nice.

Probably the best place to visit in Catania. It has an amazing panoramic view, costs only 5€ and it's not that crowded although there isn't much space. Great for photos as the Basilica is just a few meters away and makes for an awesome background. Really haven't seen anything better than this in this town. The church itself isn't anything special but the view from the very top is awesome. For the very top you wait for the green light to pop when going up/down, because the stairs are really narrow.

You should definitely visit this place in Catania… You can go up to the top where you will need to buy a ticket for 5 (Euro). Very beautiful views from the top… You can enjoy the beautiful old architecture and views of the city

Free to enter and €5 to see the view on the terrace and belvedere. I was hesitant to pay that to see the view but glad I did. On a clear and sunny day like I had it was beautiful! Fantastic scenery of Mt Etna and over the old town. There is a lift to get to the terrace if you wish and 70 more stairs after that. Otherwise it’s 170 stairs to go up. The church itself has a decent interior and there was a choir practicing when I was there.
