I visited it yesterday whilst in Messina for the day. Unfortunately it was closed however I never fail to receive a shock of pleasant surprise coming upon the exquisite medieval jewel in the nondescript commercial Via Garibaldi. It is my favourite church in Sicily and worth a trip to Messina just to see with your own eyes the magnificent treasure that miraculously survived both earthquakes that struck the unlucky city in 1783 and 1908.

This church is the stand out attraction in Savoca. It is about a 10 minute walk up a hillside (there is also a guy who drives a small train vehicle and shuttles tourists up and down). It is very scenic, perched above the town. It is also famous as being the site of the wedding scene between Michael and Appollonia in the movie the The Godfather. A donation of 1 euro ie requested to go inside. Modest dress (covered shoulders and knees) is necessary.

Located on the Duomo Piazza, this stone cathedral and the adjoining bell tower are stunning. The inside is dark and not many stained windows but the artitectute with its pillars and high domed ceilings is a delight. Lovers of old cathedrals could spend hours studying and examining the statues and design of this building. It also boast 3 separate altars settings. The bell tower is accessible to the public and its design and reproduction of statues is unique. Entry is free.
