Top 9 Sacred & Religious Sites in Messina, Sicily

January 27, 2022 Myesha Cogley

At Sicily’s northeast tip, Messina is the first city being kicked by mainland Italy’s boot, just three miles across the Strait of Messina. It's a main port of entry for visitors via hydrofoils and ferries. Trains board the ferry, too, before continuing service. The 12th-century Norman cathedral, rebuilt after a 1908 earthquake destroyed it and much of the town, is the most famous attraction.

Annunziata dei Catalani Church

Reviewed By jeanneg763

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.

Santuario della Madonna di Montalto

Reviewed By B1918KUemmal

Our B&B owner, Fabio (Garibaldi B&B) recommended we see this church as it overlooks all of Messina, especially the harbor. Even though it was a trek to get there, it was worth every step. And, we were there at 12:00 and we could hear the bells and the movement of the Piazza Duomo's Bell Tower Astronomical Clock Movement which happens everyday at this time. The view from up here is absolutely beautiful. You could see the tip of Calabria.
