Why Visit Taormina Castle?

With the audioguide in English, you can explore the castle at your own pace, aided by a detailed map of 21 points of interest, including the tower and the city walls, which rise over 4 metres (13 feet) high.

Learn about the castle's history, spanning from its Byzantine origins through the Viceroyalty era of Sicily, covering Saracen invasions, Hohenstaufen rule, and the Crown of Aragon domination.

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