Catania and Agrigento

Catania was the largest city Thane served in and the center of his mission. He spent a lot of time in the Bellini Gardens talking to people.

You can see Thane above the day written in scrubbery (I wonder if the gardener ever says to his helpers "Bring me a shrubbery!" Sorry, Monty Python joke there). Yes, they changed it every day.

Thane, in front of the most intact temple. Nearly all temples were destroyed at some point because they were Pagan. This one survived because it was turned into a Catholic church and used for some time.
This was more than was left of most of the temples.
