Giarre ( _sc. Giarri) is an Italian town and comune on the east coast of Sicily in the province of Catania. It is bounded by the comuni of Mascali, Riposto, Acireale, Santa Venerina, Milo and Sant'Alfio. Giarre forms a conurbation with the coastal town of Riposto.

History

Some historians suppose that the ancient Greek city of Kallipolis was situated in the same territory of the present-day town of Giarre, but nowadays there is no relevant proof of it.

Since the late 16th century until 1815 Giarre was a village of the county of Mascali.

During the fascist era Giarre was joined to Riposto under the name of Jonia but separated again in 1945.

Main Sights

The neo-classical main church is dedicated to the Spaniard St. Isidore, patron of Madrid. It was built in 19th century.
