Taormina - Porta Catania / Palazzo Duca di Santo Stefano

The Corso ends at the 1400 Porta Catania, emblazoned with the Aragon coat-of-arms, near which will be found a building which is well worth a visit, the three-storied and tower-like Palazzo Duca di Santo Stéfano (c. 1400) with its Gothic-shaped windows and colorful encrustations of stone along the top. Concerts are held in the Great Hall. Two further rooms are given over to works by the sculptor Giuseppe Mazzullo (1913-88).
