Arriving in Ragalna from Catania, 20 kilometres to the southeast, the slopes of Mount Etna immediately frame the view. Home to 3,676 residents, this Sicilian municipality sits roughly 150 kilometres southeast of Palermo.

The town's main botanical landmark is the "Nuova Gussonea" Botanical Garden, set directly on the mountain. Its position on the volcano makes it a convenient stop for travelers interested in Etna's high-altitude plant species.
