Brimstone Hill Fortress National Park is an outstanding, well-preserved example of 17th- and 18th-century military architecture in a Caribbean context. Designed by the British and built by African slave labour, the fortress is testimony to European colonial expansion, the African slave trade and the emergence of new societies in the Caribbean.

Im Alpenkrimi "Föhnlage" war das Haus die Kulisse für den Wohn- und Arbeitsort des Bestatters "Grasegger". Es ist das einzige Gebäude in Oberau, das komplett unter Denkmalschutz steht. Und irgendwie ist es schon auch was besonderes. Mit gefällts.
Giardini della Villa Comunale (or Giardino Trevelyan and the Parco Duchi di Cesarò), is a public park that is a pretty and peaceful spot. An English-style garden, it was designed by Florence Trevelyan, who lived in Taormina at the end of the nineteenth century. A panoramic walkway lined with benches faces the view over the sea and Etna, while flower-beds, lawns, hedges, trees and bushes spread over the large terrace. There are several fascinating follies to admire, including cottages and towers, as well as a collection of caged birds, some old artillery, a children's play area and a bar (the latter two are not always open).
Florence Trevelyan arrived to Taormina in 1884 and in 1890 she married Doctor Salvatore Cacciola, a well-known resident of Taormina and for many years its mayor, and moved into the town. There she acquired several parcels of land on the steep hillside below the via Bagnoli Croce and embarked on the creation of another garden, calling it “Hallington Siculo” (Sicilian Hallington). This was a private, shaded, pleasure garden from which there are views of both the sea and Mt. Etna. Again she imported non-native plants, but the garden is most noteworthy for the extraordinary buildings constructed from different kinds of stone, cloth, brick, pipes and other architectural salvage.
The area was given to Taormina after Florence's death and is now part of a much larger municipal park.
