Castelmola

settlement, where a certain rugged
authenticity mixes with tourist-oriented
craft shops. Signs lead you uphill to the
thirteenth-century Castello, which is
dramatically situated to command the hills
and valleys.
The little
streets and alleys are worth exploring
before you make your way back down to
Taormina.
The little town has a surprisingly
imposing Duomo, and several smaller
churches, including the Chiesa di San
Giorgio (1450) which contains a charming
little statue of St. George on his
charger. Read
