Forza d’Agrò looks like a balcony overlooking the Ionian Sea. From its belvedere it is possible to admire the coast from Messina to Syracuse, with Taormina and Castelmola, the bay of Giardini-Naxos and the imposing mass of the Etna volcano.
In 1971 the historic center of Forza d’Agrò (together with that of nearby Savoca) was chosen by Francis Ford Coppola for the setting of numerous scenes from the film “The Godfather”.
