Why Visit Taormina Castle?

This ticket to Taormina Castle grants access to the Arab-Norman fortress, also known as the Saracen Castle or the Castle of Mount Tauro. It served as a strategic control point for routes from Catania to Messina.

With an audioguide in English, you can explore the castle at your own pace and refer to a detailed map of the 21 points of interest. These sites include the tower and city walls, which are over 4 metres (13 feet) high.

Uncover the history of this bastion, from its Byzantine origins to the Viceroyalty era of Sicily, including Saracen invasions, the Hohenstaufen rule, and the Crown of Aragon.

Upon returning the audioguide, you will receive a personalised "Nobilis Castri Tauromenii" certificate featuring two of the Taormina Castle's seals as a souvenir.
