Messina

Messina – Anciently called Zancle (sickle) for the shape of its port, is also called the “gate of Sicily”.

It is one of the most beautiful Sicilian provinces, rich in history and places to visit.

Between the late Middle Ages and the mid-seventeenth century, Messina reached the peak of its greatness, contending in Palermo for the role of Sicilian capital.

The Duomo – From Norman times, characterized by the valuable Gothic portal, the windows of the fifteenth century and the astronomical clock (located on the bell tower) considered the largest and most complex in the world.

The Church of Catalans – Splendid testimony of Byzantine art, all to admire. “Cristo Re” – Ideal panoramic point to appreciate the enchanting view of the Strait. Ganzirri – Fraction of the city of Messina, is a typical fishing village that overlooks the Strait of Messina.
