Castelmola is a small ancient and picturesque village at about 500 meters above sea level with a fantastic view looking also towards the sea.
Castelmola was built to defend Taormina from the attacks of potential invaders. There is still an atmosphere of “old times”; this feeling is felt also because no car can be driven in Castelmola.
The cathedral dedicated to San Nicolò of Bari and the seventeenth century church built to honor San Giorgio are very characteristic. Interesting are also the medieval castle ruins.

Not to be missed:

• The splendid view from Piazza Belvedere that takes in the land, the sea and Etna.
• Bar Turrisi: a very “special” place that will amaze you, we are sure.

 To reach Castelmola from Etnalodge drive to Taormina and continue uphill.
