The Le Ciminiere exhibition centre is one of the best examples of industrial reclamation, archaeology, and territory development in the whole of Italy. It stands on the former sulphur refineries of Catania and close to the station and harbour. The mills were abandoned after the WWII and were unused for a long time before the reclamation. In the middle of this area are exhibitions, fairs, conferences, museums, theatres and concert halls. This is a cultural centre for the people of Catania and attracts visitors from all over the world.
