Taormina, Coastal commune in Sicily, Italy
The town extends along Mount Tauro at 204 meters above sea level, overlooking the Ionian Sea with views of Mount Etna and Calabria.
In 358 BC, Siculians established Tauromènion by welcoming survivors from the Greek colony of Naxos, creating a settlement on the strategic hilltop location.
The Greek Theatre, built in the third century BC with a diameter of 109 meters, remains an active performance venue hosting concerts and theater productions.
The local cable car system connects the main town area with Mazzarò and Isola Bella beaches, operating daily from early morning until late evening.
The Palazzo Corvaja combines Arab, Norman, and Gothic architectural elements, featuring a central courtyard and ornate stone decorations from different periods.
