Basilica Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta, commonly known as the Duomo di Messina, stands as a symbol of rebirth. Originally dating to the 12th century, it has been rebuilt multiple times, most notably after the 1908 earthquake and World War II. Its grand façade, adorned with a striking bell tower, houses one of the largest astronomical clocks in the world, which springs to life daily at noon with mechanical figures. Inside, intricate mosaics, a richly decorated altar, and valuable artworks celebrate Sicilian religious heritage. Located at Piazza Duomo, it’s an easy stroll from the port, making it a must-see for those exploring Messina’s historic charm.
