Piazza del Duomo's baroque heart centers on the black lava stone Elephant Fountain (Fontana dell'Elefante) and Catania Cathedral — rich textures, dramatic Sicilian light and bustling street life. Best at golden hour or blue hour; mornings/late evenings have fewer tourists. Central, pedestrianised square with nearby parking garages; no entry fees for square views. Respect religious services and local events.
