Cathedral of Sant'Agata - Interior

The interior of the Cathedral of Sant'Agata in Catania, which is crowned by a drum-shaped dome, impresses by its size and proportions. It has been designed to be Catania's pantheon. This is immediately evident to the visitor when by the second pillar on the right he sees the simple tomb of the famous opera composer Vincenzo Bellini, who was born in Catania in 1801 and died while still a young man in 1835. His remains were transferred to the city of his birthplace in 1876.
