Castelmola - Circonvallazione Attractions
Parallel to Corso Umberto runs the road known as Circonvallazione. A stepped road leads off it up to the Madonna della Rocca and then continues on up to Castell di Taormina, 398m/1,306ft above sea-level on Monte Tauro. This castle with its massive tower stands on the site of the ancient Acropolis, and there is a fine view from here.
It is also possible to reach the castle along the winding road which starts on the Circonvallazione and continues to the magnificently situated mountain village of Castelmola (529m/1,746ft high, 5km/3mi from the town, bus link) with the ruins of an old castle and excellent views.
