Not so special
Sep 2020
The building is nice on the outside, but inside not so special. Located in a little square, with good options for food and souvenirs.

Lovely church
Sep 2019
Set in a little square in the heart of the town, this little church is peaceful and worth a visit. Rebuilt in 1935, it's on the site of an existing C16th church. The main portal is lateral to the square and there are fantastic views over Etna and the bay from the terrace. Entrance is via a side portal in Catalan-Gothic style. Lots of statues and paintings. The bell tower is beautiful and has mullioned windows. If you are in Castelmola do take a look.

Charming little church
Jan 2020
The Chiesa di San Nicolo is a charming little church in the lovely village of Castelmola. While the interior is simple and peaceful, the church sits on a lovely hillside piazza with amazing views. This makes it well worth checking out this church

Castlemola Church
May 2019 • Couples
Castlemola is a lovely quaint village looking down on Taormina.
This church is not worth a special visit, but when visiting Castlemola it is worth a quick look at this very typical Siciliano church. In my opinion it does have some very scary but colourful statue’s inside that may be of interest to some visitors.
The church is still very much in use by the people of Castlemola.

Beautiful Cathedral with Symbolic Architecture
May 2018 • Couples
Stop in for a little peace and quiet from the hustle and bustle outside, take a moment to gain an appreciation for the religious symbolism through out this cathedral, or just step inside to avoid the heat. It's not the highlight of the area, but does give you a sense of religious culture and a feel for those that come to visit it. It is a reflection of the Sicilian life and the people that call it home. Their religion is a big part of their life and their history. So, if not to see the value in the creation of this cathedral, look at it in admiration of its architecture symbolic meaning.

Stunning church
Oct 2018 • Couples
This is just so peaceful. Not many people seemed to come here we thought it just breathtaking. Just sit look and do nothing.

Historic church
Jun 2018 • Couples
The current church was built in the 1930's and incorporates architectural details and possible original pieces from the previous church which went back to the 1500's.

A pleasant, albeit small, local church, it commands the square in which it sits and is enjoyable to visit, and the adjacent terrace gives great views across the bay.

The Duomo is not a reason to visit Castelmola
May 2018 • Couples
The Duomo is not a reason to visit Castelmola. If you go to Castelmola and you have 10-15 minutes to spare, by all means, find it and do drop in. If not, nothing lost. The Duomo is a non-event as a tourist attraction, and somewhat a non-entity to locals as well as evidenced by its condition, adornments and, more telling, the few number of lit candles by the alter. Viewing the pictures on TripAdvisor or Google would have been enough, sorry to say.

Peaceful
May 2018 • Couples
Peaceful church in the centre of the village / town. The tourists seem to make their way to the bars / restaurants so quite peaceful in the church. Modest church that could do with a coat of paint inside.
