    Taormina's garden - SicilyTaormina's history in short

    Tauromenion (on Greek) grew up in the fourth century BC as a result of decline of the Chalcidian colony of Naxos, even if it seems certain that when the first centre was founded Sicels were also present. Taormina soon became part of the sphere of influence of Syracuse and remained faithful to that city until the first Roman colonization around the third century BC. When Syracuse declined, Taormina became the capital of Byzantine Sicily, up to the time of the Arab conquest at the beginning of the tenth century. Dont Miss beautiful Taormina garden at Via Roma - Giardini di Villa Comunale. The gardens of Taormina are planted with a huge variety of flowering plants and shrubs ranging from the most common to the exotic.
