Via Crucis

This path includes an intermediate capacity. The way to go is very narrow and about a kilometer long, but the view on arrival is absolutely worth the effort to reach the small and delightful church of the Madonna della Rocca (precisely because it is set in the rock), at the end of this path, which ends just below the Byzantine castle.

The view is clearly suggestive: you can see both the coast towards Catania with the small Gulf of Giardini Naxos, and the part to the north, where Messina and Reggio Calabria look out over the Ionian Sea.

There are many stairs to climb and it only takes about 20 minutes.
