Taormina Bella Italia

Palazzo Covaja
Palazzo Covaja
Bella Italy but especially wonderful Taormina that I think is the city most charming and cozy in Sicily made so'noble and beautiful by the landscape offering the impressive Teatro Antico (Roman - greek theater) that for millennia gives as background of his stage the most spectacular in the world with a stunning kissed by a beautiful turquoise sea coastline and the Etna (active volcano).

The theater is still used for the management of film festivals, plays and musical events. Everything is simply beautiful the historic center is full of churches to the Duomo to the Chiesa di San Giuseppe, or that of San Pancrazio, and no less beautiful are the buildings including the medieval Palazzo Corvaja and the Palazzo del Duca di S. Stefano.

To costellate the streets of downtown a lot of shops big names but also elegant shops selling local products such as ceramic art by hand, the local bakery, wine bars and the sale of products of leather or wood. Beach lovers will certainly gratified by the many beaches of Taormina and its at least worth a visit: the beach Spisone Isola Bella, Mazzeo, Letojanni Giardini Naxos and Mazzaro.

Castles, palaces and mansions

Castello di Taormina

The Arab-Norman Castle or even Castello di Monte Tauro dominates the whole city of Taormina from above with a beautiful view of the sea. It was built in the Middle Ages on the remains of an ancient acropolis; it has a trapezoidal base and a tower, which served as a lookout. Today of this construction we can admire only the high keep and the courtyard, as well as the remains of a tower and the surrounding walls. The Castle is open to the public and to get there you have to go along a long staircase, which starts from the church of Madonna della Rocca.
