The Greek Theater in Taormina
Painting by: Teresa Dominici, the original is Sold.
We took a day-trip to Taormina, a small hilltop town about 20 minutes from Naxos. We visited the Greek amphitheater ruins and had a great view of Mt. Etna through the "columns."  From the amphitheater we also got a good view of the coastline on either side of Taormina.

La costruzione fu iniziata nel II secolo a.C. sotto il governo di Gerone II. I romani poi vi apportarono importanti modifiche. La capienza era di 5400 posti,fu adibito anche a spettacoli di gladiatori.
