Castillo de Castelmola

Reviewed By 760allyw

The medieval town of Castelmola can be viewed for miles around, looking as if it is perched somewhat precariously atop a peak. Access is best via the regular buses from Tarmina or by taxi (next to the Chiesa Sant'Antonio Abate). Cost of a taxi to climb the 4.7km to the top is about 20 euros. Be prepared to hang onto your seats on the hairpin bends! On arrival into the black and white marbled Piazza S Georgio you can either enjoy the panoramic views overlooking the bay and spot Mount Etna, or head for the cafe which has stood there since 1907. The owners purport it to be the site and origin of the local almond and bitter orange wine called vino alla mandorla opposite are the steps up to the castle, a Norman build. There is a lift available so even wheelers have the opportunity to take in the wonderful views. There is no admission fee

Piazza Sant'Antonino

Reviewed By SallyF906 - Northampton, United Kingdom

The first part of the town that you come to, this square is beautiful with its patterned stones and the view over Taormina, Etna and the surrounding area is wonderful - it's like you are on the top of the world. Lots of benches to sit and take in the view and the town is pretty with lots of bars and cafes. well worth a visit.

Chiesa di San Nicolo di Bari

Reviewed By SallyF906 - Northampton, United Kingdom

Set in a little square in the heart of the town, this little church is peaceful and worth a visit. Rebuilt in 1935, it's on the site of an existing C16th church. The main portal is lateral to the square and there are fantastic views over Etna and the bay from the terrace. Entrance is via a side portal in Catalan-Gothic style. Lots of statues and paintings. The bell tower is beautiful and has mullioned windows. If you are in Castelmola do take a look.
