San Domenico in Taormina Sicily
This Dominican monastery, now the San Domenico Hotel, was the third monastery in Taormina. Its origins and history are related to Damiano Rosso, a Dominican friar who was a descendant of the Altavilla family and Prince of Cerami; after becoming a friar he donated all he owned to the Dominican order in 1430. His antique mansion was therefore turned into Taormina's Dominican monastery.
The "San Domenico" was the first or perhaps the only castle existing in Taormina during the Middle Ages. Some centuries later the estate was given back to Damiano Rosso's heirs who turned it into a hotel. The only part of the former monastery to remain open to worship was the chapel which, however, was destroyed by bombings on July 9, 1943.
The congress hall of the hotel was built on the ruins of the chapel, conserving the remains of the minor altars. The bombings did not damage the rest of the hotel nor the 50 cells which were later turned into luxurious hotel-rooms.
The beautiful cloister and magnificent park, which overlook the sea and have a view of Mount Etna, are the most charming parts of the hotel; a second wing, added to the hotel in the 193Os, harmoniously reflects the architectural style of the rest of the building with many authentic art treasures as well as sacred vestments and vessels and paintings by well-known artists.
