Historical Description | Taormina is located in the Italian metropolitan city of Messina in the Autonomous Region of Sicily. The city was founded by the Sicilians, who settled on the terraces of Monte Tauro before the Greek colonization. The city became Greek in the 4th century BC. Today's city was re-founded in the Middle Ages after the Arabs destroyed the ancient city. Due to the picturesque landscape, mild climate and numerous historical sights, the city developed into one of Sicily's most important tourist centers in the 19th and 20th centuries. The ancient theater with a view of Mount Etna and the Gulf of Giardini-Naxos and the small island of Isola Bella off the coast of the city are particularly famous. |
