• Join us on this tour of the beautiful city of Messina, known as the "Gate to Italy" due to its unique location on the Straits separating Sicily and Italy.
• Our tour starts from the square opposite the town hall. From there, walk to the 18th-century theatre that resisted the fury of the earthquake (The facade is still the original one, only the inside is modern).
• Then, visit the historical centre, home to the Cathedral of Messina. Adjacent to the Cathedral is the Zodiac building, featuring beautiful paintings of the different Zodiac signs. Marvel at the unique bell tower, added after the earthquake, decorated with golden statutes and housing the largest astronomical clock in Europe. The Cathedral's interiors are simple yet stunning, with a beautiful golden altar. Outside, you'll find a Renaissance fountain with four statues symbolizing four rivers. Besides, climbing the 200 steps inside the bell tower is possible to reach the top level and dominate the city from the terrace above. (Steps are not difficult, and travellers can take their time to do so)
• Next, stroll through the pedestrian area, lined with cafes and beautiful old buildings, to reach the Bronze statue of the city's hero in the battle against the Turkish Army. 
• Our final stop is at a local bakery to enjoy the typical local pastry, the cannolo, or a granita if it's hot (the traditional Messinese sorbet).

Note- If the tour starts around 10 AM, then the tourists can attend the amazing carousel in the bell tower. It starts at noon and goes on for over 10 minutes. Tourists will hear sounds and music and will see the golden statues moving.
