Messina Private Tour
At the chosen time, we will gather in Piazza Duomo to initiate our private exploration of Messina. Our first stop will be the stunning Orion Fountain. Erected in the 16th century by Giovanni Angelo Montorsoli, a renowned disciple of Michelangelo, this fountain showcases exquisite sculptures representing the Nile, Tiber, Ebro, and Camaro rivers.
As we proceed, we will arrive at the magnificent Cathedral of Messina, a grand structure established during the Byzantine period, dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta. The cathedral was largely reconstructed following the catastrophic earthquake that struck the city in 1908. While we admire its beautiful decorative features, our guide will share insights into its fascinating history.
We will also observe the bell tower of the Cathedral, which houses the largest astronomical clock in existence. Every day at noon, witness the enchanting display as its figures come to life, accompanied by Schubert's Ave Maria—an unforgettable performance!
Our journey will take us to the port of Messina, Sicily's largest harbor. Here, near the maritime observation point, we will conclude our enriching two-hour tour filled with history, art, and culture.
