Taormina and Messina

On the train to Taormina














Teatro Antico- the ancient theater. Aka the Teatro Greco or the Greek Roman Theater. The most important monument in Taormina. It is the second largest classical theater in Sicily. Build during the Greek era 3rd century BC and entirely rebuilt by the Romans in the second century AD. 








This starts the pictures from Messina






Duomo - Cathedral

Campanile del Duomo - Bell tower of the Cathedral. This is a mechanical bell tower built in the 12th century. It is the biggest mechanical clock in the world connected to symbolical and allegorical moving metal statues. Think gigantic coo coo clock. It still accurately tells the time and date.
