Catania - Other Sights

The visitor is recommended to proceed in an easterly direction to the great north-south axis of the Via Etnea. In its lower section, not far from the Piazza del Duomo, its course is interrupted by the Piazza dell'Università; this creation of Vaccarini's is lined by two buildings; the university on the left, with its bell-shaped gable, and the Palazzo San Giuliano (1745) on the right.
