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.
