Battlements Above Taormina

Looking up from Piazza Vittorio Emanuele ll towards the Castello Saraceno on the summit of Monte Tauro. On the right is Palazzo Corvaja, built around a medieval defensive tower and enlarged over the following centuries; in 1410 it hosted the Sicilian Parliament. Below the cliff is the bell gable of the church of Santa Caterina d'Alessandria. Behind the church lies the Roman Odeon, a small theatre that a blacksmith uncovered by chance in 1892 while digging on his land.

Cruise ships at Taormina

The Ancient Theatre of Taormina, Sicily. A Greek theatre first built in the 3rd century BC and later rebuilt and remodelled under Roman rule. With a 107-metre diameter and seating for roughly 10,000, its curved cavea frames sweeping views of the Ionian coast and Mount Etna. Once a stage for classical drama, it now hosts the annual Taormina Film Festival and a regular concert programme.
