Catania	::: << Prev ::: Thumbs ::: Next >> :::
	223 of 226. On October 9th, we took time off to relax. I decided to take a walk and ended up at the The Porta Garibaldi, a triumphal arch, built in 1768. There is a shield on the east side depicting a phoenix rising with a Latin cartouche stating Melior de cinere surgo (Better I arise from the ashes), which aptly applies to Catania, that has often required rebuilding due to volcanic activity and earthquakes.
