Militello in Val di Catania has Byzantine origins and was then occupied by different peoples, like much of Sicily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The town is fascinating although not on the same level as other Baroque towns in Sicily<\/strong>. Although there are few pedestrian areas, <strong>if you are nearby it is still worth visiting<\/strong> and walking around to discover palaces, lanes and churches and then rest in a nice restaurant, savoring the local cuisine. Once you arrive you can park your car near the municipal villa and then to continue walking down Umberto Street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_to_do_in_Militello\"><\/span>Things to do in Militello<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-le-chiese\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_churches\"><\/span>The churches<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In Militello there are really numerous churches, here you will find the most beautiful listed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Piazza Municipio there are the church and the <strong>monastery of San Benedetto (17th century)<\/strong> , with some beautiful Baroque buildings to keep it company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2021-10-01_13-45-20_466-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Church and Monastery of San Benedetto, Militello\" class=\"wp-image-25339\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2021-10-01_13-45-20_466-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2021-10-01_13-45-20_466-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2021-10-01_13-45-20_466-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2021-10-01_13-45-20_466-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2021-10-01_13-45-20_466.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> Church and Monastery of San Benedetto <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2021-10-01_13-43-55_981-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Church and Monastery of San Benedetto, Militello\" class=\"wp-image-25343\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2021-10-01_13-43-55_981-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2021-10-01_13-43-55_981-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2021-10-01_13-43-55_981-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2021-10-01_13-43-55_981-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/topsecretsicily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2021-10-01_13-43-55_981.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"> Church and Monastery of San Benedetto <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Proceeding along Via Umberto, you will find yourself in front of the imposing <strong>church of San Nicola<\/strong> , rebuilt after the earthquake of 1693.
