About Misterbianco
Misterbianco: Gateway Town on Etna's Western Slope
Misterbianco sits 8 km west of Catania in the Metropolitan City of Catania, Sicily. The town occupies the lower slopes of Mount Etna, Europe's tallest active volcano, and functions primarily as a residential and commercial hub for the greater Catania plain. The historic centre retains a Baroque parish church, the Chiesa Madre, rebuilt after the catastrophic 1693 Val di Noto earthquake that reshaped much of southeastern Sicily.
Where to Stay
Hotels in Misterbianco are compact in number and skew toward business travellers and visitors using the town as a cost-effective base for Catania Fontanarossa Airport, located roughly 9 km southeast. The A18 and A19 motorways intersect near Misterbianco, giving quick road access to Taormina (50 km north) and Syracuse (60 km south).
Practical Tips
