- Piazza IX Aprile- a charming small square overlooking the sea where you can enjoy a nice panoramic view of the gulf and mount Etna.
- Piazza del Duomo- with a beautiful baroque fountain built of Taormina stone on a circular base and the cathedral dedicated to S. Nicholas di Bari, which dates back to XIII century.
