Ristorante Biscari In Catania

BACKGROUND: The palace was built at the behest of the Paternò Castello family of the princes of Bìscari. The oldest part of the palace was built at the behest of Ignazio, III prince of Biscari, who entrusted the project to the architect Alonzo Di Benedetto, but it was Ignazio's son, Vincenzo, who succeeded his father in 1699, who commissioned the decoration of the seven splendid large windows overlooking the Marina, the work of the Messina sculptor Antonino Amato.

A beautiful place that takes you back to the past. Very elegant palace in Catania with beautiful frescoes and particular details. I recommend visiting this pearl of Sicily

wonderful journey into a fantasy world of the past full of history and stories

Thank you Chiara our guide in French, essential to understand the whole history and observe all the details of the architecture and furnishings. Not expensive given the explanations, she advised us to go up to Santa Agatha, the visit to which costs almost as much without explanations.

Palazzo Biscari represents an unmissable destination in Catania. Splendid testimony of Sicilian Baroque, it contains within it a staircase judged among the 10 most beautiful in the world. Furthermore, the owner of the building is a kind, friendly and helpful person. I would like to encourage this heritage to be valued and made known to all future generations.

Nice 30 minute guided tour. A little short We cannot take photos of the exterior.

Beautiful historic building in Catania we had the owner Ruggero as a guide who showed us the beauty of this place, it is worth going to visit

Stunning palace, worth seeing given the importance of the prince of Biscari. Closed on Thursdays, guided tours only in the morning 10-11-12 in different languages. It's a shame that the visit only lasts 30 minutes (with the owner a little longer but he prefers to follow the French who are very popular in Catania and goes by feeling at the moment). With everything there is, we could talk for 3 hours.

Magnificent palace, well worth seeing.

The story told by the Knight himself, Ruggero Moncada Paternò Castello, a direct descendant, is beautiful and evocative. Definitely recommended to visit!!
