Riding past the Ursino Castle dating back to 1239 a massive very impressive medieval castle with four towers centrally located in Catania. In 1669 lava filled the moat encircled the castle and distanced the castle from the sea and the coast. You can see its original position in a 1679 painting which hangs in the Cathedral.
