The building is the second largest in the city after the Benedictine Museum, originally built in the early 1800s as a military district for the Bourbon cavalry.

Nearby Destinations

Piazza Duomo, the Pescheria fish market, and the Benedictine Monastery are within a ten-minute walk. Tourist destinations like the Metropolitan Cathedral of Sant'Agata, the Benedictine Monastery (now a university), the Pescheria, and the Civic Museum are easily reachable on foot. The Regional Archaeological and Interdisciplinary Museum of the Metropolitan City of Catania is in the same building.

Transportation Access

From the Central Train Station (Square Papa Giovanni XXIII), take bus number 431 (black circular line: Central Station, Via Vittorio Emanuele, Via Plebiscito) or bus number 431 (red circular line: Central Station, Viale Libertà, Via G. D'Annunzio, Via Monserrato, Via Etnea, P.za S. Maria di Gesù, Via Androne, Via Plebiscito, Piazza San Cristoforo which overlooks via Naumachia). Alternatively, take buses 427, 431, 439, or 457 to Piazza Borsellino, then bus 503 to Via Plebiscito near Piazza San Cristoforo. A shuttle leaves every 20 minutes for the airport.

“Bellaqua stands out for its location in Catania's historic heart, within easy reach of Piazza Duomo. I was particularly struck by the blend of old-world architecture and modern comfort. From what I've gathered, the host's genuine passion for Sicily elevates the experience beyond the typical stay.”
