The red brick wall and rectangular niches are a historical monument. The Roman fixed construction dates from around the 2nd century. The name suggests this was part of a naval battle, but it was not and was never used to stage production of such water shows. It functioned as a retaining wall for the terrace on top of it. The garden is pretty. In the middle there was a large water cistern. Follow the IG link in profile for more travel and food and drink tips, ideas and reviews!

Unearthed only in 1943, the Naumachie are a long red brick facade from the Roman era. The monumental succession of 18 major niches interspersed with minor rectangular niches is appreciable. All for a 122m long by 5m high elevation. There are several hypotheses on its use, certainly there is that it was not used for the representation of naval battles (contrary to its denomination); more likely it was a Gymnasium, that is, a place to do gymnastic exercises.

Taormina is located in the northeast of Sicily. It is a mountain city near the sea. It was a Greek colony in 400 BC and came under the jurisdiction of the Roman Empire in 212 BC. Taormina is considered to be the most beautiful town in Sicily. Some people think: "If you can only choose one destination in Sicily, then come to Taormina."

Ciò che colpisce di questo edificio è la possibilità di leggere la storia stratificata di questa città: dall'epoca greca fino ai giorni nostri.

Il nome 'Naumachie' deriva dal greco e significa 'battaglia navale', un termine improprio visto che l'edificio non aveva funzione di spettacoli marittimi.

In base alle ipotesi più recenti, l'edificio era in origine un maestoso porticato (stoà) databile tra la metà del III sec. a.C. e i primi decenni del secolo successivo. La struttura fungeva non solo da sfondo all'agorà della città in epoca greca (che si estendeva anche nell'attuale piazza Vittorio Emanuele II), ma fungeva anche da muro di contenimento della terrazza superiore, per intenderci la terrazza dove corre attualmente il corso Umberto I che, in epoca greca, era una delle arterie principali della polis greca.

In epoca imperiale la struttura fu modificata e adibita a cisterna: fu realizzato, quindi, il prospetto tutt'oggi visibile, una facciata in laterizi scandita da nicchie ad abside e nicchie rettangolari.
