MUST See in Messina: HUGE Astronomical Clock

We will visit the downtown and at noon watch the biggest and most complex astronomical clock display quite a show! This port city offers visitors so much history DESPITE so much destruction.

Messina has a great mix of history, culture and art. We take you inside the Duomo and hear the story of the patron saint Madonna della Lettura, Madonna of the Letters. Enjoy parts of the noon presentation of the astronomical clock tower. Messina has been a gateway to Europe and the Middle East for thousands of years and remains today the entrance port for cruise ships and ferries.

Messina is my hometown, now I do live in Rimini, although I can't express how much I miss it. I would definitely go back if its job hunting situation wouldn't be so bad.

Hi Eszter, A very well presented video and very interesting. It's good to know some history of Messina. I will remain neutral when it comes to building a bridge. We will see what happens. Cozze sure is one of my favourite dishes. Your hairdo really looks good. Thank you for sharing. Much love ❤❤😊

Well Eszter the video is as lovely as you my darling, bridges are for people who really want them who wants the bridge Sicily or the government? They are expensive to build and very expensive to maintain we have some very nice bridges here in the bay state Florida has them to the keys, New York has them all over, many bridges need replacing here in the bay state including the Sagamore to the Cape so I don’t really think so, what will they gain by building one a huge headache for sure and I think the government realizes that for sure or they would of had one by now.
What do you think is it a good idea?

According to Strabo the Romans built a bridge across the strait in 250 BC!

NO BRIDGE! It will ruin Sicily! Waving from Villa San Giovanni, Calabria,
