Palazzo Speciale is one of the Baroque palaces of Catania, set in the heart of the old city. The historic centre is home to many others: some can be visited in full, others only from the outside, but all are ready to show visitors their beauty and centuries of history. We suggest two routes to discover some of these historic residences, both starting from Palazzo Speciale and following the city streets. The first takes you towards the coast, the Arches of the Marina, the station and the seafront; the second follows Catania's main street, Via Etnea, from which you can reach other sights such as Villa Bellini and Piazza Stesicoro.
