Palazzo Biscari fills an entire block of Catania’s Civita district and faces the harbour from above the Arches of the Marina. It is an eighteenth-century private residence, built on top of the sixteenth-century city walls — and until the 1920s the sea still reached the foot of its bastions.
A few minutes above the Santa Maria del Monte Staircase stands Palazzo Spadaro Libertini. It is not a museum: no ticket office, no fixed circuit, no rope along the walls. It is a private house that opens its main rooms by arrangement, and the damasks on those walls are the original ones — not replacements, not reproductions.
Villa Pottino is a historic residence, dating back to 1915, designed by the architect Armò . Armò, assistant and collaborator of the architect of Palermo – Ernesto Basile.
