It's a city castle but there are not too many castle-like things inside. But there is a permanent exhibition with some worthy paintings and sculptures. I do not regret going here at all but otherwise I do not consider it a "must" when in Catania.

Ursino Castle in Catania is a gem that truly impressed me with its unique history and architecture. Originally built in the 13th century, the castle has stood the test of time, even surviving lava flows from Mount Etna, which makes it even more fascinating to explore. The atmosphere inside is wonderful – you can almost feel the echoes of the past in the thick stone walls and ancient hallways.

6 EUR entry was a little high considering the museum was small. It was cool to see the castle, but a lot of the artifacts have little to do with the castle itself. Bathroom smelled, was not serviced, and had no running water. What a shame

We visited Caravaggio paintings exposition and ticket lady proposed purchase also tickets to Ursino Castle for just 1 Euro more, so it was a no brainer. I think it's worth seeing and as you can see at the photos you will be able to see a lot of paintings, the whole interior of the castle and beautiful views from the top.

This place is so good. Of all the time I have spent in Catania, I had no idea this place existed. It has great works of art and a ton of history; PLUS it’s not super crowded. If you’re looking for an enriching art museum experience and a little bit of history while you visit Catania, I would check this place out. The price to enter is only €6, which is a steal for the amount of art that you are getting to view.
