Messina Private Tour

At the selected time, we'll meet in Piazza Duomo, where we'll begin our private tour of Messina by admiring the Orion Fountain, built in the 16th century by Giovanni Angelo Montorsoli, a pupil of Michelangelo, decorated with statues of the Nile, Tiber, Ebro, and Camaro rivers.

Next, we'll visit the Messina Cathedral, a Byzantine-era structure dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta. The building was largely reconstructed after the 1908 earthquake. The guide will share its history as we observe its decorative elements.

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

Finally, the guide will take us to the port of Messina, the largest in Sicily. We will conclude our tour after two hours of history, art, and culture.
