Taormina - Piazza IX Aprile / Sant'Agostino

Along the Corso Umberto in Taormina lie the Piazza IX Aprile with a viewing terrace, the little Gothic church of Sant'Agostino, built in 1448 and now used for secular purposes, and the clock-tower. This is where the older part of the town begins. On the right at the top of a lane of steps stands the Palazzo Ciampoli (1412), and further on the Town Hall.
