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, where we'll begin our private tour of Messina by admiring the Orion Fountain, built in the 16th century by Giovanni Angelo Montorsoli. The fountain features statues representing the Nile, Tiber, Ebro, and Camaro rivers.
Next, we'll visit the Messina Cathedral, a structure from the Byzantine era dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta. The cathedral was largely rebuilt after the 1908 earthquake. The guide will provide insights into its history as we explore its decorative elements.
We will also view 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, creating a notable spectacle.
The tour will continue to the port of Messina, the largest in Sicily. Near the maritime viewpoint, we will conclude the tour after two hours of history, art, and culture.
