;
Parish Church of Saint Joseph: It stands in Piazza Aldo Moro, opposite the Town Hall, and is dedicated to
Saint Joseph. It was built by Prince Antonino Giuseppe Riggio Saladino after the
1693 earthquake to serve the needs of his fiefdom. Following the founding of Catenanuova, completed in
1736, the church became a parish in
1738. Initially, the church had a single
nave; around
1757, it was expanded with the construction of a secondary nave housing the altar of the Blessed Sacrament, and in
1767, the
bell tower was added. Around the mid-19th century, three more arches were built, doubling the size of the building, which still retains this structure today. It houses sacred artworks, including the painting of the
Holy Family, a masterpiece of the late Baroque period, and the statue of the patron saint
Saint Prosperus. ;Church of Mary Most Holy Immaculate: The church dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary Immaculate is the second most important and largest among Catenanuova's churches. Located on Corso Vittorio Emanuele III, it was built in 1908 following the bequest of a local bourgeois, Carmelo Bonanno, exactly 50 years after the apparition of the Virgin Mary at
Lourdes, which occurred on February 11, 1858. Carmelo Bonanno reportedly had only one daughter, named Santa, who eloped to marry a young man of lower social standing. Opposed by her family, she fell ill and died in 1884. After being struck by illness himself, the father, to atone for the severity that had led to his daughter's death, decided to leave all his assets, after his wife Carmela Guardali's death, to the Parish of Saint Joseph for the construction of a new church, intended to house the statue of the
Immaculate Conception that had been exposed to the elements in a roadside niche in the Vigne district. The executor of the will, however, refused to carry out the testamentary provisions. In 1894, the new parish priest of
Saint Joseph, Gioacchino Tornatore (1894–1934), legally reclaimed Bonanno's donation, and the executor's heirs, who had since died, were forced to surrender the funds required for the church's construction. It was opened for worship on April 1, 1908, by Monsignor Ferdinando Fiandaca, Bishop of
Nicosia, thus becoming a subsidiary of the Church of Saint Joseph. A plaque inside the church commemorates the event: This temple, dedicated to Mary Most Holy Immaculate, was erected by the testamentary will of citizen Carmelo Bonanno through the diligence and dedication of parish priest Don Gioacchino Tornatore, who reclaimed its rights after nearly thirty years. MCMVIII. In the late 1950s, the bell tower was erected. In 1994, restoration work was carried out to improve the roof and interiors. In addition to the ancient wooden effigy of the Immaculate Conception from 1870, the church also houses papier-mâché statues of Saint Cajetan (1908) and Saint Francis of Paola (1930), wooden statues of Saint
Anthony of Padua (2000) and Saint
Lucy of Syracuse (2004), and six stained-glass windows of Florentine craftsmanship, also from 2004. In 2008, on the occasion of its centenary, the façade was restored, and the interior stuccoes were gilded.

Fondaco Cuba is an early 18th-century inn, declared a historical-artistic landmark by the Superintendency of Cultural and Environmental Heritage of Enna. Due to its history, it is the oldest building in Catenanuova.
Natural areas ;San Prospero Park: San Prospero Park in Catenanuova is so named because, until 1985, the proceeds from the harvest collected there were used by the municipal administration to fund the feast of the patron saint
Saint Prosperus the martyr. On September 12, 1985, the Municipality signed an agreement with the Regional Forestry Inspectorate of Enna to create a green recreational area, unique in the district. It covers 4 hectares of land with over two thousand trees and is located in the Censi district, in the upper part of Catenanuova. It is rich in firs, cypresses, pines, and other tree species, which divide the entire area into four equal parts, bordered by walkways—one designated for children's play areas and the other three furnished with picnic tables and, notably, stone barbecues. == Society ==
