On this private tour of Messina, you'll visit the Duomo and the largest astronomical clock in the world with an exclusive guide for you and your group.

Messina Private Tour

At the selected time, we'll meet in Piazza Duomo to begin our private tour of Messina, starting with the Orion Fountain, built in the 16th century by Giovanni Angelo Montorsoli, featuring statues representing the Nile, Tiber, Ebro, and Camaro rivers.

Next, we'll visit the Messina Cathedral, a Byzantine-era cathedral dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta, which was largely rebuilt after the 1908 earthquake. The guide will provide insight into its history while we appreciate its decorative elements.

We'll also explore the bell tower of the Messina Cathedral, which houses the world's largest astronomical clock. Every day at noon, its statues perform to Schubert's Ave Maria.

Lastly, the guide will lead us to the port of Messina, the largest in Sicily. Near the maritime viewpoint, we'll conclude our tour after two hours of history, art, and culture.
