Catania, Sicily at Dusk

Catania is the provincial town of the Catania Province on the eastern coast of Sicily and the second largest city on the island after Palermo. Destroyed in the great earthquake of 1696, much of the reconstruction was done in the Baroque Style of the time. Being in the shadow of Mt. Etna, lava rock has been used as the main construction material for centuries. The Piazza del Duomo is wonderfully lighted at night and is a popular meeting point. It is also very good people watching.
