Misterbianco

'White Monastery' or 'White Minster') is a comune (municipality) in the Metropolitan City of Catania in the Italian region Sicily, located about 160 kilometres (99 mi) southeast of Palermo and about 6 kilometres (4 mi) west of Catania.

Misterbianco borders the following municipalities: Camporotondo Etneo, Catania, Motta Sant'Anastasia, San Pietro Clarenza.

The settlement's name derives from a former local monastery in the contrada of Campanarazzu (pejorative of Sicilian: campanaru, lit.

'bell tower'), where monks, likely Dominicans, wore a white dress (in Medieval Latin: Monasterium Album, lit.

The town continues to grow in size due to people moving here from the increasingly costly quarter of Catania city.
