Taormina — Teatro Antico & Belvedere
Sicily
Taormina's ancient Greek theatre, later enlarged by the Romans, frames Mount Etna directly behind its stage wall, a view considered one of the most spectacular settings for any surviving ancient theatre. The surrounding gardens and belvederes give further angles on the same coastline, distinct from the town's beach-level sights.
