Taormina is considered one of Sicily's most beautiful jewels, only about an hour's drive north of Catania. The town is built on a rocky promontory 200 metres high on the slopes of Mount Tauros, and thus offers a breathtaking view of the Mediterranean Sea and Mount Etna. Although 11,076 people live here permanently, the city is crowded with tourists who come to admire the historical and cultural heritage left by past civilisations.
