Catania Cathedral is dedicated to Saint Agatha, the city's patron saint. First built in 1078-1093 by Roger I of Sicily over the Roman Achillean Baths, it was rebuilt in Baroque style after the 1693 earthquake, with a façade by Giovanni Battista Vaccarini; the Norman apses and parts of the transept survive. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Catania.
Palazzo Biscari is the Baroque town palace of the Paternò Castello princes of Biscari, built on Catania's 16th-century sea walls after the earthquake of 1693 and completed by Ignazio V (1714–1786). Still largely lived in by the family, it opens its frescoed halls for short guided tours, concerts and events.
