The Amenano, a mysterious underground river that winds under the historic center of Catania, originally flowed to the surface feeding the Lake of Nicito.

Chiesa di San Gaetano alle Grotte
One of the most beautiful places in Catania. An ancient lava flow cave, already reused in Greek times as a cistern and then as a catacomb tomb by the Romans. According to tradition, it was the site of the first deposition of Saint Agatha, on which a small church was built as early as 262. Today the crypt still preserves the remains of ancient frescoes and decorations carved directly into the living rock
