Taormina

Taormina, on the east coast of Sicily just south of Messina, has been a tourist destination for centuries. It has two spectacular vistas, one towards Mount Etna and another of the town itself from the castle above. In this shot you can see the medieval town and, in the top left, the curves of the Roman theater, which still attracts visitors and hosts performances today. I had to climb the switchback stairs to get this picture, which was taken from the terrace of the lovely little cave church of Santa Maria della Rocca.
