Quattro Fontane di Taormina
Made in Baroque style, it is also called "4 fountains" by the 4 columns that are located at the corners of the central basin and which are surmounted by sea horses from whose mouth water came out which ended up in the basins below. The fountain was built in 1635 by order of the administrators of the time.

The Badia Vecchia palace was built in the fourteenth century and was initially a tower defending the walls of Taormina.
The Greek Theater or Ancient Theater is certainly the most representative and important monument present in Taormina. The ancient Theater of Taormina, which was born to host dramatic or musical performances, had been transformed during the Roman era to make room for gladiatorial games and naval battles. This led to the expansion of the orchestra, which in Greek times was intended for players, so as to be adapted to the new arena function.
30 minutes
Admission Not Included
The Corvaja palace is one of the most representative monuments of Taormina and overlooks on one side on Piazza Badia and Corso Umberto and on the other on Piazza Santa Caterina.
