Gateway to Sicily: A Messina Self Guided Walking Tour
Overview
Messina, with its strategic location between two continents and two seas, has been a cultural crossroads for centuries. On this self-guided walking tour, you‘ll explore the resilient ‘gateway to Sicily’ that‘s been destroyed multiple times, but always reemerged more beautiful than before.
The tour starts at Largo Giacomo Minutoli, a square near the harbor. You‘ll wander through the historic center, where wide, modern streets that were laid after the devastating 1908 earthquake conceal fascinating stories about its Greek, Roman, Arab, Norman, and Spanish pasts.
