    Gli affreschi vertiginosi della Chiesa di San Benedetto sono un tuffo nel barocco catanese che non si può perdere. L'audioguida, comodamente scaricabile su proprio smartphone e completa anche di testo, è eccellente e permette di apprezzare a pieno quello che si sta guardando.

    Sarebbe auspicabile ridisegnare il percorso così da poter ammirare l'altare da vicino
