the land of almond wine

Castelmola is among the most beautiful villages in Italy and is located near Taormina.

The village, small and well-preserved, is perched on top of a hill overlooking the Ionian Sea, while the highest point can be reached by following a path from the main square of the village, Piazza Sant’Antonino, up to the ruins of a castle.

In the square there is a viewpoint that offers a splendid view of the Ionian coast and the city of Taormina, the sea, and the Calabrian coast.

The origins of Castelmola date back to the pre-Hellenic period, while the name is inspired by the shape of the large rock on which it stands, which resembles a “millstone”.

Not to be missed:

Cathedral, dedicated to Saint Nicholas of Bari, rebuilt between 1934 and 1935
Church of San Giorgio, which dates back to the 15th century and is dedicated to the patron saint of Castelmola
Church of San Biagio
Ruins of the Castle
Bar Turrisi
The Church of the Annunziata.

In Castelmola, a visit to a very special place is a must: Bar Turrisi, one of the most curious bars in the world. The venue is known for a rather risqué detail but also for the production of the famous almond wine.
