Messina Private Tour
Our journey begins at the agreed time in Piazza Duomo, where we'll start the private exploration of Messina by taking in the stunning Orion Fountain. This incredible structure, crafted in the 16th century by Giovanni Angelo Montorsoli, a talented student of Michelangelo, showcases sculptures that represent the rivers Nile, Tiber, Ebro, and Camaro.
Following this, we will make our way to the Messina Cathedral, an impressive edifice from the Byzantine period, dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta. The cathedral’s grandeur was largely reconstructed following the devastating earthquake of 1908. As we appreciate the cathedral's intricate details and ornaments, our guide will share captivating stories of its rich history.
Our next stop will be the bell tower of Messina Cathedral, home to the largest astronomical clock in the world. Each day at noon, its figures come to life in a mesmerizing display set to the tune of Schubert's Ave Maria... a truly mesmerizing highlight!
We will conclude our tour at the port of Messina, Sicily's largest harbor. Near the maritime viewpoint, we will bid farewell to our guide after two enriching hours filled with culture, art, and history.
