At the foot of Mount Etna...

Founded in 1558 and subsequently
reshaped by volcanic eruption, catastrophic
earthquake, rebuilding and restoration, the
architecturally eclectic former Benedictine
Monastery of San Nicolò l'Arena in Sicily
is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site,
housing the Department of Humanities
of the University of Catania.
