I visited the City of Messina, Sicily as part of a cruise on board the MSC Splendida. This film features footage from a short circular walk around the city, where some of the main sites were taken in, alongside the general streets, architecture and transport of Messina.
Identified features and locations within the film are as follows: The Port of Messina, Views over Messina from the MSC Splendida cruise ship, Viale San Martino, Via Santa Maria Alemanna, Carlo III Di Bourbon statue, Via 1 Settembre, Via Giuseppe la Farina, Piazza della Republica, Piazza Cairoli, Via Nicola Fabrizi, Chiesa del Carmine, Views over Messina from the bell tower of Chiesa del Carmine, University of Messina, Court of Messina, Piazza Duomo, Fountain of Orion, The Cathedral (Duomo) of Messina and Via Giuseppe Garibaldi.
I very much enjoyed my visit to Messina, and will certainly return to document other parts of the city and wider region.

Messina is a harbor 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.
But its location as the gateway to Sicily has also meant that tourists tend to hurry through it on their way to the many other attractions of the island. Messina deserves a place on any Sicilian itinerary for its many things to see and do and for a chance to meet its upbeat, friendly inhabitants, perhaps during one of the lively festivals that fill its streets with music and color. The most colorful of these is Vara, each August 15, when a 15-meter-tall statue of the Madonna weighing nearly eight tons is carried in procession through the streets.
The cathedral forms one end of the wide Piazza del Duomo, Messina's historic center, and in front of it is the Orion fountain, created from 1547 to 1551 by G.A. Montorsoli from Florence, a student of Michelangelo. On the left long side of the cathedral stands the Baroque column of the Virgin Mary by Giuseppe Buceti, erected in 1758. The church was built in the 1100s by the Normans, who ruled Sicily at the time, but it was seriously damaged by an earthquake that devastated much of Messina in 1908. Barely recovered from that, the cathedral was again severely damaged by World War II bombing. Following both, the reconstruction remained true to the original form and retained important later features such as the carved stone portals from the late Gothic period, medieval relief carvings on the lower facade, and three apses on the east side that date from its founding.
The 60-meter high bell-tower, reconstructed using old designs, contains one of the greatest of all astronomical clocks, a work by the Strasbourg firm of Ungerer placed there in 1933. Every day at noon (or sometimes shortly after) the figures begin moving and show scenes from the history of Messina, including the handing-over of the legendary letter of protection from the Madonna to Messina.
The second most important church in Messina is the Santissima Annunziata dei Catalani. It is the only building to have survived the earthquake of 1908, but was not so fortunate in the World War II bombing. The church was built in the second half of the 12th century under Norman rule, and the east side dates from this time. Each of the three sections of Messina's Regional Museum - the painting gallery, sculpture collection, and archeological section -- contains significant pieces. Sculpture highlights include an Antonello Gagini sculpture of St. Antonius, Francesco Laurana's Madonna with Child, and Goro di Gregorio's Madonna of the Cripples, as well as the originals of the figures on the Fountain of Neptune.
The Fontana del Nettuno, or Neptune Fountain, is located in a park, set apart from the city center. It was built in 1557 and, like the Orion fountain, is a work of Montorsoli. The fountain shows the god of the sea caught between Scylla and Charybdis, the two monsters of the Strait of Messina. On the west side of the Piazza Dante is the Camposanto, or Cimitero Monumentale, one of Italy's largest and most beautiful cemeteries. On top of the hill is an Ionic colonnade, the Pantheon of the town's leading citizens, from which there are fine views of the city and the strait. The Neoclassical and Art Nouveau sculptures and monuments set in gardens make it seem more like an open air art gallery.
An attractive panoramic route, Viale Italia, begins to the west of the university and continues westwards under varying names (Viale Principe Umberto, Viale Regina Margherita). A promontory juts out from the west of Messina into the harbor with the remains of a citadel called the Fort of San Salvatore, which was built in 1681. It forms the base for a 60-meter octagonal column erected in 1934, topped by a statue of the Madonna della Lettera.

Enjoy the Messina Cathedral call to prayer (show) at midday in the time square. I believe YouTube has removed Ave Maria which plays in the background from the church.
