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

Messina Private Tour

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

Continuing, we'll visit the Messina Cathedral, a cathedral constructed in the Byzantine era and dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta. The building was almost entirely rebuilt after the 1908 earthquake. The guide will share the history of its decorative elements.

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

Next, the guide will take 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.
