The Belvedere Pirandello in Taormina is one of the most famous attractions in the Sicilian city of Taormina. Located on Via Luigi Pirandello, it offers a spectacular view of Mount Etna and the sea.
The history of the Taormina Belvedere dates back to Roman times, when it was built as a vacation spot for Roman aristocrats. Later, during the Middle Ages, it became a fortress and a defense point against Saracen invasions.
The current Belvedere Pirandello was built in the 19th century in the neo-Gothic style, and today it houses a panoramic area with benches and a bar. It is also a popular location for weddings and events.
One curiosity is that the area of the Taormina Belvedere has been used as a location for numerous films and television shows, including Alberto Sironi’s “Inspector Montalbano”.
Overall, the belvedere is a must-see for those visiting Taormina, with a spectacular view of Mount Etna and the sea. It is one of the most famous panoramic points in the city.
