The Late 2013 iMac can be upgraded to macOS High Sierra, Mojave or Catalina.

see > https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211683


Going straight from Sierra to Catalina would be a considerable shock to both you and the iMac.


Personally I would backup and go for High Sierra, then move unto Mojave or the more challenging Catalina....


To get High Sierra open Safari and click on > https://apps.apple.com/us/app/macos-high-sierra/id1246284741?ls=1&mt=12
