About Messina
Messina is Sicily's third city and the gateway to the island across the famous Strait of Messina separating Sicily from mainland Calabria by just 3 kilometres of water, a city of great strategic importance throughout history that was almost entirely rebuilt after the catastrophic 1908 earthquake - the deadliest natural disaster in European history killing 80,000 people - creating the rational grid city visible today. The city features the remarkable astronomical clock of the Cathedral - one of the world's largest and most complex, performing an extraordinary mechanical show at noon daily - the Museo Regionale with important works by Caravaggio including the Adoration of the Shepherds and Resurrection of Lazarus painted during his Sicilian exile, and the beautiful Strait of Messina waterfront. Messina delivers important Caravaggio masterpieces, the extraordinary mechanical clock spectacle, and serves as the essential crossing point connecting Sicily to mainland Italy.
