Visiting Messina, Sicily, Italy
Messina is a harbour city in northeast Sicily, separated from mainland Italy by the Strait of Messina. It’s known for the Norman Messina Cathedral, with its Gothic portal, 15th-century windows and an astronomical clock on the bell tower. Nearby are marble fountains decorated with mythological figures, like the Fontana di Orione, with its carved inscriptions, and the Neptune Fountain, topped by a statue of the sea god.
Messina is the third largest city on the island of Sicily, and the 13th largest city in Italy, with a population of more than 219,000[7] inhabitants in the city proper and about 650,000 in the Metropolitan City.
