Messina Town Centre, Cathedral, and Local Flavours
Meet me at Piazza Municipio, just outside the port, where I'll introduce you to Messina's glorious past. Walk around the imposing 18th-century marble statue portraying the city as a young woman and enjoy the view over the straits, with the golden statue marking the entrance to the harbour. Continue towards the Catalani Church and the statue portraying Don Giovanni d'Austria. Approach the Cathedral and admire the refined details of its great portal, then step inside the church and discover how the tsunami and even the bombs dropped during World War Two changed the building forever. Discover the details of the beautiful Renaissance fountain next to the church. Stop at a local cafe/bakery for a snack. Enjoy the astronomical clock and its unique carousel. End the tour in front of the Cathedral.
