The Roman Theatre of Catania is the excavated ruin of a theatre on the southern slope of the Montevergine hill, first built in the 1st century AD and enlarged in the 2nd, when the smaller Odeon beside it was added. Its seating held about 7,000 people. Houses later covered it, and two of them, kept during the excavations, now show the finds as an Antiquarium.
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.
