 Taormina appeared as "a strip of paradise on the earth" to the eyes of one of its most important visitors, Johann Wolfang Goethe, who visited it in 1787. It was an exciting discovery for the German literary man who quoted in a memoirs the warm emotions aroused by his famous "journey to Italy". Taormina, which is now one of the most famous tourism localities in the world, halfway between Messina and Catania, was not much bigger than a village at that time, closed as a small fortress between the walls built by the Arabians almost thousand years before; the quarter realized through the big terracings, that contained during Romanic time the naumachies (big tanks), is instead more recent.
There are many noble residences, like the wonderful Palazzo Corvaja, Palazzo dei Duchi di Santo Stefano, and the churches, every one built with a peculiar architecture style, from Chiesa dei Cappuccini to Chiesa di San Pancrazio that was built on the rests of an Hellenistic temple. |
