Trevelyan's Park - Public gardens in Taormina

Public gardens - Taormina

The Public gardens of Taormina constitute one of the most panoramic places in the town.

The villa is a real green lung, populated by lush vegetation of palm trees, cacti and a large quantity of flowers, that, in summer, make this place a delight for the eyes.

The villa was originally inhabited by Lady Florence Trevelyan, a Scottish noblewoman who left her country after having a relationship with the heir to the English throne, Edward VII. Arriving in Taormina in 1884, Lady Trevelyan married Mayor Prof. Salvatore Cacciola.

The garden became the property of the municipality starting from 1922, and inside, even today, you can admire particular constructions commissioned by Lady Trevelyan for ornamental purposes, called Victorian follies.

The gardens are a worthwhile alternative to the crowded central streets. Their pathways are immersed among magnolias, hibiscus, and meticulously maintained bougainvillea shrubs.
