The history of Catania, like any other place in the Mediterranean, is made up by the sequence of cultures passing through, conquering and being conquered by the locals, all leaving their mark in every aspect of life. It was founded by the Greek Chalsidian people in 729 b.c.. After some fierce battles the Siracusans conquered the city and ruled it for many centuries. Eventually and inevitably for the times, Catania ended in the hands of first the Romans and subequently the Byzantines. Next, it was the turn of the Arabs , who arrived in 827 A.D., and 200 years later the Normans paid a visit.
In 1169 the city suffered from a terrible earthquake, and while reconstructing it the locals had to also deal with the aspirations of first Henry the VI and subsequently the Spanish. During the Spanish rule, under Frederic III of Aragon, Catania underwent a cultural revival, symbolised by the founding of the University of Catania in 1434, then called the 'Siculorum Gymnasium'. In 1669 a violent eruption of Etna reminded people of the fickleness of life, and the locals were once more faced with the task of reconstruction.

La Basilica di San Sebastiano - Museo d' Arte Sacra in Acireale
La Basilica di San Sebastiano che è stata denominata monumento nazionale e recentemente dall’UNESCO proclamata “monumento messaggero di una cultura di pace”, fu costruita agli inizi del 1609 in sostituzione di un antico oratorio divenuto insufficiente ad accogliere i numerosi fedeli del Santo. L’edificio di culto ultimato nel 1652, fu pesantemente danneggiato dal terremoto del 1693.La ricostruzione della Basilica avvenne nel corso della prima metà del 1700 per iniziativa delle numerose confraternite di fedeli.
Il fastoso prospetto del tempio, arricchito di statue, mascheroni apotropaici, fregi floreali e leggiadri angioletti, fu progettato da Angelo Bellofiore esponente di punta delle maestranze locali.L’interno della basilica accoglie affreschi e opere pittoriche di noti artisti siciliani: Paolo Vasta, Vito D’Anna, Francesco Mancini, Francesco Patanè, Antonino Bonaccorsi, Alessandro Vasta, Matteo Ragonisi.
