Taormina is a world-famous tourist resort, endowed with a rare charm and an atmosphere, whose fame is strictly related to the strong peculiarity of its setting, main reason of the numerous stratifications of civilities that followed each other just here since the VIII century B.C.

The Greek Theatre is, for size, the second classic theatre in Sicily (the first one is in Siracusa) and is, obviously, one of the symbols of Taormina, with a maximum diameter of 109, built in Hellenic age by levelling the hill's summit it was extendex and almost totally rebuilt by Romans and recently restored.
