Situated on the Gulf of Catania, this town spreads tidily over the foot of the southern slopes of Etna, as well as to the south on the low-lying fertile Catania plain, where the modern industrial zone has been sited.
Founded by the Chalcidians in the 8th century BC., it quickly attained a position of importance in Sicily, often warring with Syracuse. It was taken by the Romans in 263 and experienced periods of great prosperity under the Empire.
After the fall of the Western Empire, it was dominated by the Goths, and in 552 passed together with the whole island to Byzantium, who held it until the 9th century, when Sicily was conquered by the Arabs.

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.
