Taormina
Taormina is a town on the island of Sicily in Italy, and in ancient times was a Greek colony; Taormina is in the Province of Messina, together with the beautiful Aeolian Islands and the ancient city of Milazzo; Taormina is built on an extremely hilly coast, and is approximately a forty-five minute drive away from Europe's largest active volcano, Mount Etna.
The remains of the teatro greco, the 'Greek theatre', are not actually Greek, as the theatre was rebuilt by the Romans in the 2nd century BC on the site of the original theatre; With a diameter of 109 metres, this theatre is the second largest of its kind in Sicily; it is frequently used for operatic and theatrical performances and for concerts. |
