A small quaint church built into the rock and oozing charm. The legend is that a shepherd was in the grotto here and had a vision of the Madonna and child. The church has some exposed mosaics and an original drawing over the Altar. The main reason to visit, is the view and the spectacular walk up there along steps from Taormina Town centre, with statues along the way. The view includes the Greek theatre and Taormina. It should be on route to the castle but that is closed and the path is blocked beyond the church. A must do if time permits. The best time is as early as possible or at Sunset.

Really worth the "hike" (you have some steps to climb, but it s really worth it, the views are really beautiful over the city, teatro antico and the sea), the little church is really special, carved into rock (the ceiling) and nicely decorated inside. Also, if you go round it, you have a really wonderful view of the other side of the mountain, with Etna and the surroundings (it reminded me of the old postcards, really recommend it) and a drinking fountain, so you don't have to worry about getting dehidrated.

Absolute must if you enjoy beautiful views. You can take a bus up to the church, or if you enjoy a challenge, take the 541 stairs (Via Crucis) from Via Circonvallazione). It's very doable (about 25-30 mins), or take your time, enjoy the view. The church itself is worth the visit. Its ceiling is made of rock, thus its name. From there, you can continue climbing to Castelmola, which has THE most absolutely beautiful views.

A very modest little church dug out from the actual rock on which Taormina is also built. It stems back to the 17th century. Next to the church there is a hermitage and a monastery of the order of the Basilian. The views are stupendous on one side Taormina with the amphitheatre while the other side majestic Etna, Castelmola and Naxos

Chiesetta molto piccola ma graziosissima, costruita all'interno di una grotta, che si trova sul promontorio in cima a Taormina. Essendo situata dentro una grotta, il soffitto e alcune parti di parete sono costituiti da roccia naturale, rendendo l'interno di questa chiesetta uno spettacolo per gli occhi. Anche il panorama all'esterno è fantastico, con una vista dall'alto su tutta la città di Taormina e sul mar Mediterraneo. Molte altre recensioni dicono che, per raggiungere questa chiesetta, bisogna necessariamente percorrere una salita di centinaia di gradini, ma in realtà è raggiungibile anche in automobile. Difatti, io ci sono arrivato in auto, anche se oggettivamente il posto per parcheggiare lì in cima è limitatissimo. Da notare che alle 09:30 di ogni terza domenica del mese viene celebrata la messa, pertanto consiglio di evitare quell'orario se non si vuole disturbare i fedeli. Merita veramente tanto di essere visitata, dato che l'ingresso è anche gratuito.

The church itself is a nice place to visit. The rock inside is unique. Free entrance. We weren’t able to access the gardens at all. The views are worth the walk up from Taormina. Not too difficult and rewarded with great views of the city, ocean, and Mount Etna. You can keep going up to the castle from here as well.
