Not far from this beautiful church with a viewing platform, a pedestrian street starts to Taormina, that is a very beautiful road with breathtaking scenery, for some reason not popular.

Hiking

We enjoyed the hike up from Taormina on January 31. Wildflowers and blossom trees were beautiful and the vistas are stunning. Definitely worth the trip. Enjoyed aranchini at Pier de Cat in Castelmoleno and decided to skip the bus ride down to backtrack on the trail to Taormina. This trail is not well marked at either end, so be ready to hunt a bit, but it is a gem for scenery and you will likely be alone to enjoy the views.

Unfortunately the church is completely empty. But the training on Taormina from up here is all the more beautiful.
