ITALY - Sicily - Taormina

Taormina is a small town on the east coast of the island of Sicily. Taormina has been a tourist destination since the 19th century. The present town of Taormina occupies the ancient site, on a hill. The site of the old town is about 250 metres (820 ft) above the sea, while a very steep and almost isolated rock, crowned by a Norman castle, rises about 150 metres (490 ft) higher. Some Taormina hotels are located on the coast with beaches.
The Ancient theatre of Taormina is built for the most part of brick, and is therefore probably of Roman date, though the plan and arrangement are in accordance with those of Greek. With a diameter of 109 metres (358 ft), this theatre is the second largest of its kind in Sicily (after that of Syracuse); it is frequently used for operatic and theatrical performances and for concerts.
