Discover the art of Taormina
From the ancient theatre to the cathedral via the public gardens known as the Villa Comunale
The ancient Greek theatre of Taormina with a view of Etna is a place of eternal charm, attracting thousands of tourists every year who dream of sitting on the stone steps of the ancient plateau.
The cathedral of Taormina is a splendid example of a typical Sicilian church with its mix of medieval and baroque elements. Inside there are ancient works of art that were found in the gardens of Villa Taormina, like the framed icon of the Madonna, protector of the town. Your walk must involve a visit to the Villa Comunale – the public gardens, with their liberty style garden designed by an English noblewoman once a resident of Taormina. The villa also offers a splendid view point to enjoy a moment of relaxation in the shade in the middle of the town, in front of an exceptional view of the bay of Taormina.
