In Catona there are three churches,a religious Institute of nuns called “ St. Mary Immaculate’s Daughters” built in 1908 that take care of children and orphans,many nursery schools,a big primary school,our middle school,a beautiful and well-known open theatre,a sport centre,some pizza restaurants,bars, 2 hotels, and many shops. In addition, Catona is famous for its Patron Saint Francesco da Paola that made a miracle in 1464 here(but we’ll tell you later). In summer it is very busy because of its clean and crystalline sea water and its white sand beaches, with nice shores.
