Beautiful little church built into the rock high above Taormina. There is a steep pathway up from the town or a bus stops nearby. Great views over the town and the bay. If you are there on the 3rd Sunday in September you can see the Saint's statue being paraded. We were there just beforehand and the street leading to the church was filled with stalls selling sweets and food.

The 14 stations themselves are humble and understated - I liked this. The walk-climb up hill is a little hard if the weather is warm, you have an old knee or two and are not fit (me😄) However, the view of Taormina at the top and the little church built into the rock made it all worthwhile. We sat and had an aperitivo at the roadside bar near the church before walking back to Taormina. Walking down was easy (cobblestones were dry that day). We saw people who appeared older than us (were in our 60s) struggling a bit but if you’re not in a hurry, give it a go - places to sit on the way up.

This is an impressive church in an awesome location on a steep hillside outside Taormina. It is a steep climb to get there, up a number of steps but it is worth the climb. The inside of the church is small but it is carved into the rock which is spectacular. Free to enter.
