Castello Maniace played a key defensive role during its time. Now a historic attraction, you can just imagine some of the spectacles its mighty walls have witnessed.

Situated in Ortigia, this history-filled fortress is worth including in your schedule. But you'll find lots more to explore in this area. Cathedral of Syracuse, Temple of Apollo, and Castello Eurialo are within easy reach of Castello Maniace.

Beautiful view of Isola Bella from property. Hotel is very dated, but clean and the staff are very pleasant and helpful. Know that you are not near the center of Taormina and must take cable car to get to it.
