Where to stay in Cibali
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Catania's centre carries the hotel stock. The Museo Paleontologico dell'Accademia Federiciana and the Zoological Museum give Cibali a reason to be visited, but the quarter's own bed supply is thin measured against what the city holds a short ride away. Anyone sleeping here books a private flat within reach of Sant'Agata al Borgo or Santa Maria di Gesù, trading the hotel desk for an address among the parish churches.
Santissimo Sacramento al Borgo stands on the same list.

About Cibali
What are the main landmarks in Cibali?
The parish accounts for four of the seven. Sant'Agata al Borgo, Santa Maria di Gesù, Santa Rosa da Lima Church and Santissimo Sacramento al Borgo are the four churches the record ties to Cibali, and two museums and a monument make up the rest. The Zoological Museum and the Museo Paleontologico dell'Accademia Federiciana are the collections; the Monument to Umberto I di Savoia is the one piece of civic sculpture listed.
Nothing on it is a castle or a tower.
What is the history of Cibali?
No founding year reaches the record. Cibali enters it as a quarter of Catania whose documented past is carried by its buildings: four churches, two museum collections and a monument raised to Umberto I di Savoia. Two of the dedications carry the word borgo, in Sant'Agata al Borgo and Santissimo Sacramento al Borgo, and that word is the oldest thing the register preserves here.
Where is Cibali?
Catania divides itself into quarters, and Cibali is one of them, an area the register names and lists but never measures.
