Things to do in Acireale, Sicily: The Best Architectural Buildings
Acireale [ˌatʃireˈaːle] (Sicilian: Jaciriali; locally shortened to Jaci or Aci) is a coastal city and comune in the north-east of the Metropolitan City of Catania, Sicily, southern Italy, at the foot of Mount Etna, on the coast facing the Ionian Sea. It is home to numerous churches, including the Neo-Gothic St. Peter's Basilica, St. Sebastian's Basilica in the Sicilian Baroque style, and the 17th century Acireale Cathedral, and a seminary, for the training of priests. Acireale is also noted for its art and paintings: the oldest academy in Sicily, the "Accademia dei Dafnici e degli Zelanti", is located here.

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.
