Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Just bump into this site when we were about to leave the Taormona and go for a train. A large structure formed by a brick retaining Roman walls, 122 meters long. The construction dates back to the 2nd Centrury AD. It is hiddedn from Taormina hustle nd bustle.

Reasonably well cared for and a great reminder of how much ancient world is sitting underneath modern Taormina as well as how much was destroyed over the years to make way for the new.

It only takes 5 minutes to visit but is very interesting with boards to explain the history. The Naumachia is in the main part of Taormina and so is easy to visit as you're wandering the streets.

A lovely Roman wall with a beautiful garden maintained by a local club with great care. Literally off the Corso so you won't need to go out of your way. Definitely take a peek and stroll through the garden. There is a cross stairway (modern) that I wouldn't want to cross. We had it all to ourselves on a beautiful day.

An old roman wall with a small garden. Its off a side street on the main corso umberto but worth looking at if passing by. Nice to see the ancient beneath the new

The so-called 'Naumachia' is a bit of a mystery with many theories on what it actually was. It is clearly not a naumachia in the Roma sense of a basin constructed to stage naval battles for the entertainment of citizens. It is considered that it may have been a gymnasium or a part of a water storage system for Taormina and the surrounding areas. Whatever it was, it is now a tranquil spot a few dozen metres off the busy Corso Umberto. Don't miss it .. .

Why not visiting it? Taormina is a very relaxing place to stay and walk around. This one of the places to visit. If you like ruin this is the place to visit as well as walking around around that lovely small town. Worthy for pictures and relax.

hard to find and nothing worth looking at. Naumachia means naval battle. There wasn't one, or anything much related to one, which is reasonable a couple of hundred feet above sea level.
