Antica torre che faceva parte della prima cinta di antiche mura, fu trasformata in palazzo nel 1300 per accogliere la madre badessa Eufemia , reggente del regno di Sicilia in nome del fratello minore Federico IV detto il Semplice. Facilmente raggiungibile in auto o salendo a piedi dal corso, attraverso una ripida ma interessante scalinata , è sede del Museo archeologico. Anche se la struttura è stata nei secoli modificata , rappresenta un bell'esempio di architettura gotica trecentesca, con qualche evidente analogia con la facciata del vicino palazzo dei Duchi di S. Stefano . Pregevoli e, posti in ulteriore risalto dalla scalinata e dallo stretto ambito, spiccano tre magnifiche bifore a sesto acuto; gli archi delle due bifore laterali sono decorati da un solo rosone, mentre l’arco della bifora centrale è ornato da tre rosoni. Un fregio molto elegante , realizzato con intarsi in pietra lavica e pietra bianca di Siracusa decora e divide il primo dal secondo piano. Il palazzo è coronato da merli a coda di rondine, proprio come un castello medievale.

Здание старого монастыря, в котором сейчас расположен археологический музей. Внутрь не заходили, а снаружи выглядит как хорошо сохранившаяся старинная башня.

Il palazzo Badia Vecchia era originariamente un torrione a difesa delle mura della cittadina. Secondo alcuni studiosi l'edificio si chiama Badia perché doveva ospitare un'abbazia, ove dimorò la principessa Costanza d’Aragona, reggente intorno al 1350 del Regno di Sicilia in nome del fratello minore, e poi madre badessa. Restaurato e modificato più volte nel corso dei secoli, l'edificio presenta bifore, decorazioni in pietra lavica e pietra chiara, merlature alla sommità. Io ho visto solo l'esterno, l'interno dovrebbe essere adibito a museo, ma era chiuso e non ho ben capito se è in atto funzionante..

Το κτίριο αυτό του 14ου αιώνα ήταν στην πραγματικότητα ένας πύργος και αποτελούσε τμήμα των αμυντικών τειχών της πόλης. Επισκευάστηκε και τροποποιήθηκε πολλές φορές στη διάρκεια των αιώνων που ακολούθησαν την κατασκευή του. Το χαρακτηριστικότερο στοιχείο του είναι τα περίτεχνα πανέμορφα διπλά τοξοτά παράθυρα και το ιδιαίτερα διακοσμημένο γείσο που διαχωρίζει τους δύο ορόφους του. Συνδυάζει αρμονικά πολύ διαφορετικά αρχιτεκτονικά στοιχεία, γοτθικά, αραβικά και νορμανδικά. Προσέξτε ιδιαίτερα τη συνδυασμένη χρήση κομματιών λάβας και λευκής πέτρας των Συρακουσών. Η συγκριτιστική αρχιτεκτονική του θυμίζει πάρα πολύ το πανέμορφο Palazzo dei Duchi di Santo Stefano. Σήμερα, φιλοξενεί το αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο της Ταορμίνα.

Палаццо Старый Монастырь - это замок, построенный в 14-м веке, похож на укрепленную башню. В нем в настоящий момент расположен археологический музей. Раньше этот дворец принадлежал аббатству.
