Feast of
Sant'Agata

Experienced from our "Dimore"

One of the most majestic feasts in the world

Fireworks, candelore, festive bands, concerts and, above all, a solemn procession that winds its way through the historic center, followed by a crowd of devotees dressed in white: this is the feast of Saint Agatha, the patron saint of Catania, celebrated every year from February 3 to 5. Known as one of the most popular feasts internationally, experiencing it is like immersing yourself in the ancient heart of the city for several days: reliving a history of faith, tradition, and folklore, with customs that date back centuries.

If you are looking for a place to stay in Catania for Sant’Agata, Le Dimore del Toscano is the ideal solution: right in the center, it allows you to enjoy the best moments of the feast: everything takes place within walking distance, and Piazza Stesicoro, right in front of the building, becomes the center of attention during the afternoon of February 4.

Check out the map we have prepared for you and enjoy your full immersion in an experience that you will take with you as one of your most precious memories.
