Latin plaque commemorating the fact that <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Taormina" title="Taormina">Taormina</a> had been preserved by miracle from the January, 1693 earthquake.

The plaque stands in the right nave of the <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cattedrale_di_Taormina" class="mw-redirect" title="Cattedrale di Taormina">Cathedral of Taormina</a>.
