Duomo di Sant'AgataDuomo di Sant'AgataThe Cathedral of Catania, entitled to St. Agatha has been destroyed and rebuilt several times due earthquakes and eruptions of the nearby volcano Etna. It was originally constructed in 1078-1093, on the ruins of the ancient Roman Achillean Baths, by order of Roger I of Sicily, who had conquered the city from the Islamic emirate of Sicily. At the time it had the appearance of a fortified church (ecclesia munita). In 1169 it was nearly entirely destroyed by an earthquake, leaving only the apse area intact. Further damage was introduced by a fire in 1169, but the most catastrophic event was the 1693 earthquake, which again left it mostly in ruins. It was subsequently rebuilt in Baroque style.

Catedrala Sfânta Agata este Domul oraşului Catania şi este situată în piaţa Duomo. Catedrala poartă hramul Sfintei Agata, martira virgină careeste patronul spiritual al oraşului CataniaConstrucţia lăcaşului de cult a început (din ordinul regelui Roger I al Siciliei care îi învinsese pe arabi şi cucerise oraşul), în perioada 1078-1093, peste ruinele băilor romane, şi avea forma unei biserici fortificate. Datorită faptului că a fost distrus în mai multe rânduri, atât de erupţiile vulcanului Etna, cât şi de o serie de cutremure, Domul a trecut prin mai multe perioade de reconstrucţie.

Un giorno Dio decise di fare un regalo alla terra! Esso si tolse un diamante dalla Sua corona e lo gettó in mezzo al Mare Mediterraneo dandogli il nome di SICILIA!

The current appearance of the church date to the 1711 century design of Gian Battista Vaccarini, who designed a new Baroque façade after the 1693 earthquake. It has three floors with Corinthian columns, in granite, perhaps taken from the Roman Theatre of the city.

Aspectul actual al Domului din Catania datează din anul 1711 când urmare cutremurului din anul 1693 Gian Battista Vaccarini a desenat o nouă faţadă în stil baroc. Aceasta are trei registre iar coloanele corintice din granit sunt preluate probabil de la Teatrul roman.

All the orders are decorated with marble statues of St. Agatha over the gate, St. Euplius on the right and St. Birillus on the left. The entrance door, in wood, has 32 sculpted plaques with episodes of the life and martyrdom of St. Agatha, coat of arms of popes and symbols of Christianity.

Toate nivelele sunt decorate cu statui: Sfânta Agata se află deasupra portalului principal iar de cele două părţi ale portalului sunt statuile sfinţilor Euplius şi Birillus.

The parvise is separated from the Cathedral's square by a balaustrade in white stone, featuring five large statues of saints in Carrara marble.

The bell tower was originally erected in 1387, with a height of some 70 meters. In 1662 a watch was added, the structure reaching 90 meters; after the 1693 destruction it was rebuilt, with the addition of a 7.5 t bell, the third largest in Italy after that in the St. Peter's Basilica and in the Duomo of Milan.

Clopotniţa a fost ridicată în anul 1387 (70m). În 1662 a fost adăugat ceasul, ajungând la 90m; reconstruită după cutremurul din 1693 i s-a adăugat şi clopotul (7,5 tone) al treilea ca mărime din Italia.

The cathedral of Sant'Agata in Catania stands, according to tradition, on the spot where Saint Agatha died a martyr's death in 251, and owes its existence to the Benedictine abbey of Sant'Agata which in 1092 was promoted to a bishopric.
