Where is Sicily? What are the tourist attractions?

You have never been to Sicily, so you must have heard the beautiful legend of Sicily, right? You must have seen it in movies, stories, or sleeping pictures. However, its beauty is not legend.

There are thousands of miles of green coastlines. You walk on it, looking at smoking volcanoes in the distance, quaint buildings nearby, Greek-style temples and castles, and listening to the sound of waves beating against rocks. Everything is so beautiful and natural.

Here, in Sicily, I came across the ancient literature and art of ancient Rome, and also had the beauty of Venice as a water city. It is a pearl, a bright pearl in the center of the Mediterranean.

Palermo

Palermo, the capital of Sicily. This ancient port city with a history of more than 2,000 years was once ruled by various people in Europe, West Asia and North Africa. They took their respective civilizations to the stage, leaving behind curtain calls of different styles of architecture.

Palermo's layout is simple. The ancient city was built in the shape of a cross. The city is divided into four areas, and the center of the cross is the quadrangle field.

It is also called the Sun Theater, because at different times of the day, you can see the beautiful and unusual aura of sunlight on four buildings.

Palermo Cathedral is a hodgepodge of world architectural styles, including Arabic, Norman, Gothic, Baroque and Byzantine ... Almost all the architectural styles you know are mixed and matched. Just like the key to Palermo, if you understand it, you will understand the vicissitudes of Palermo.

Mount Etna?

Mount Etna is the largest volcano in Europe. At the top of the mountain at an altitude of 3329 meters, overlooking the Ionian coast of Sicily.

Etna means "I burned" in Greek. The soldiers in this volcano really live up to their reputation. It erupts more than 500 times a year and is the most diligent volcano in the world.

Saijesta

The site of Saijiesta in the 5th century BC is a mysterious place, which is located at the edge of a deep valley in the middle of an undeveloped and uninhabited mountain range. It is said that on windy days, the 36 huge pillars of the temple here will make mysterious music like an organ.

Its history can be traced back to around 430 BC, and it is well preserved, which is the mark left by the brilliant Greek civilization in Italy.

Taormina?

If someone can only stay in Sicily for one day and asks me where I should go to play, I will not hesitate to answer "taormina". Maupassant

Taormina was the capital of Sicily under the Byzantine Empire in the 9th century. This is a well-preserved medieval town. If you can get rid of shopping and sunbathing, there are also wonderful little attractions here.

The number one attraction in taormina is a perfect horseshoe theater. Built in the 3rd century BC, it is the most spectacular Greek theater in the world and the second largest Greek theater in Sicily (second only to Syracuse).

In summer, from July to September, Taormina Art Festival (Taormina

Arte) will be held in this theater, bringing tourists from all over the world to the town. Ancient ruins and leisurely summer nights provide a fascinating background for it.

Siracusa?

This city was once known as one of the greatest and most beautiful cities in ancient Greece, and was once the ruling center of Syracuse kingdom.

The famous film The Beautiful Legend of Sicily was shot here. Travelers who like this movie can look at the streets and squares that Monica walks through.

Cefru

In Cefalu, you can enjoy dazzling Byzantine mosaics and magnificent beach sunsets. It is a wonderful experience to rest between the peaks and a large beach.

The magnificent Chevron Cathedral is a jewel in the crown of Sicilian Arabian-Norman architecture, and you can enjoy the portrait of Almighty Christ.

This is an important Byzantine mosaic and the oldest and best preserved mosaic in Sicily.

The beauty of Sicily is not so flamboyant. It is quiet and beautiful, like an inexperienced girl, so beautiful and pure, so beautiful and natural.
