Weddings can be held in churches that carry out parish activities. To check availability, please contact the church directly.

The Pulcherrima tour was created to link together several churches in the city of Catania; therefore, tickets are not sold separately for individual churches.

The admission ticket is valid for 3 days from the date of issue.

No, individual visitors do not need to book as visits are conducted using an audio guide. Booking is required for school groups, clubs or tour operators requiring a tour guide service.

You can access the multimedia audio guide on your mobile phone by scanning the QR code available at the ticket office. As it is a web app rather than a native app, it does not take up any storage space on your device.

For the audio guide to work properly, you need a data connection or Wi-Fi. To promote accessibility to the museum, the audio guide is available in both audio and text formats.
