We were taken here as part of our Secret Sicily tour and it certainly is a hidden gem. Photos are not allowed inside, but a visit to the website has a good selection which include the magnificent staircase and the sensational ceilings. Seems you can book to go on a private tour (minimum 4 persons) which is well worth doing. If this were in the UK it would be a gem for the National Trust. There are good views over the town of Acireale from the terrace where photos are allowed.

Catania's Piazza del Duomo is definitely the center of the city and probably also its most beautiful square. Besides the Duomo it is surrounded by various attractive buildings like the Palazzo dei Elefanti, which on its backside touches the Piazza Università. Opposite of it, to the south, is the Seminario dei Chierici with - attached to it - the Porta Uzeda. In the center of the square is the city's symbol, a fountain with an elephant surmounted by an obelisk. There are usually plenty of people in the piazza, many obviously using it as a meeting point.
6. Staircase of Santa Maria del Monte

What a sight to behold! 142 beautiful ceramic encrusted steps, each a masterpiece of its own. Lovely motifs of knights, flowers, dancers, geometric patterns, etc. Turn left somewhere about 30 steps midway and you’ll find a beautiful ceramic wall tucked away from public view. Caltagirone is such a charming little town and I think it deserves at least half a day to explore the streets and galleries with artisans working on their craft. We were enroute to Piazza America and it was a pity that we could only make a brief stop.

Beautiful view of Mount Etna and Piazza Duomo. Get up there by few hundred stairs or elevator for a few euros and get the most amazing view of this gorgeous city.
