Messina city

Sunny, windy and crowded…welcome to Messina, the entry gate to Sicily! Walk through its historic centre: the Cathedral, the Catalani church, the “Monte di Pietà”, the Orione fountain.  

In piazza Duomo do not miss the bell tower "performance", at noon, famous all over the world.

Driving north along the coast, you may reach Torre Faro, the extreme point of Sicily in the north with its gorgeous landscapes, its nice sandy beaches and. The many typical restaurants.

The coasts of Calabria are also visible from the Sagrario di Cristo Re and from the Church of Montalto in Messina (the latter offers indeed the best view!).
