The Cathedral of Messina
The Cathedral of Messina is located at Piazza Venezia in Messina. Built in the 12th century, it was destroyed by a volcanic eruption 100 years ago, and the current The Cathedral of Messina was rebuilt using the same original materials and techniques. The Cathedral of Messina features wood carvings, murals, and gilded decorations that are sure to impress visitors. If you are there on the hour, various animal figurines emerge in sequence from the bell tower next to the church, which is quite a novelty.Messina · 203m from downtown

Fontana di Nettuno
Fontana di Nettuno is located in Piazza del Duomo, on one side of the cathedral and bell tower. The fountain faces the sea, with the statue of Neptune standing on the base, holding a trident in one hand and extending the other hand forward, symbolizing a blessing for Messina.

4.0
Messina Cathedral was built in the 12th century. It is a very classic church building. This church is also a very important area. The church is also quite large. Here you can learn a lot about the history and religious culture of the city.
