What you'll see & do
- ✓The former Church of Sant’Antonio Abate was built in 1330. It is called “former church” because it is no longer used for religious functions. After being severely damaged during the bombings of the Second World War in 1943 and subsequently rebuilt, the church lost its role as a place of worship. There is a cool story related to this church: let's discover it!
- ✓The Palace of the Dukes of St. Stephen is one of the best examples of Norman architecture preserved in Taormina. Built between the mid-13th century and the beginning of the 14th century, the palace was an integral part of the medieval walls that delimited the historic centre of the city.
- ✓The main square of the city! Let's find out some interesting facts about the beautiful fountain and buildings in this square!
- ✓Taormina Cathedral, originally built in the 13th century on the ruins of a small church dedicated to San Nicola di Bari, was rebuilt and expanded at various times, initially in the 15th century, later in the 16th and finally in the 18th century. Let's discover it!
- ✓Corso Umberto is the main street of Taormina, which extends between two arches located at the ends: the arch of Gate Messina to the north and the arch of Gate Catania to the south. A beautiful walk!
- ✓IX April Square is located in the heart of Corso Umberto and is considered one of the most prestigious places in Taormina. This spacious square is famous throughout the world for the spectacular view it offers: from the distinctive profile of Mount Etna, to the view of the bay of Giardini Naxos, up to the hill that hosts the Greek Theatre.
- ✓The Church of the Madonna della Rocca stands on a steep mountain overlooking Taormina, near the Saracen Castle. It owes its name to the characteristic of being built directly on the living rock.
- ✓The Arab-Norman Castle of Taormina is also known as the Castle of Monte Tauro, as it stands on the top of the rock of the same name. An amazing place to visit!
- ✓An odeon is a type of public building from Greco-Roman antiquity, designed primarily to host musical, theatrical, or oratory events of a smaller scale than open-air theaters. The term derives from ancient Greek and means “a place intended for singing.” The odeon of Taormina is one of the few found in Sicily. Let's discover it!
- ✓Corvaja Palace is one of the main monuments of Taormina. Its construction dates back to the Arab era, namely the 11th century, when the first cubic tower was erected. In the 14th and 15th centuries, the palace was expanded and acquired its current appearance, with a fusion of Arab, Norman, Gothic, Catalan and Chiaramonte architectural elements.
- ✓The Greek Theatre, also known as the Ancient Theatre, probably dates back to the 3rd century BC, during the reign of Hiero II. More than 100,000 cubic metres of rock were manually removed to build the theatre. The Romans later renovated and expanded the building, adding columns, statues and ingenious architectural solutions. An amazing place that you are going to explore!
- ✓Trevelyan Park, also known as Municipal Villa of Taormina, was created in the mid-19th century thanks to the will of Lady Florence Trevelyan, an English noblewoman who was raised at the court of Queen Victoria, cousin of her grandmother, Lady Maria Wilson.
- ✓The first historical traces of Isola Bella date back to 1806, when Ferdinand I of Bourbon, King of the Two Sicilies, donated it to the Municipality of Taormina. Subsequently, around 1890, the island was purchased by the English noblewoman Florence Trevelyan for a sum of 14,000 lire. Let's discover more!
