Things to do in Messina, Sicily: The Best Fountains
At Sicily’s northeast tip, Messina is the first city being kicked by mainland Italy’s boot, just three miles across the Strait of Messina. It's a main port of entry for visitors via hydrofoils and ferries. Trains board the ferry, too, before continuing service. The 12th-century Norman cathedral, rebuilt after a 1908 earthquake destroyed it and much of the town, is the most famous attraction.

I never thought I would visit such a wonderful place and have this experience. Clear waters rushed from the fountain but what I noticed besides the great work of art were the birds that sat upon it that only made it more natural and lovely and all the people gathered around it. All the while seeing this listening to Ave Maria played over the crowd of people. It is located in a piazza with a clock tower which is animated and beautiful and an old church with paintings and sculptures. All together it was perfect. I'm happy I was able to visit this beautiful place.

Messina was a nice place to visit. Seeing Neptune’s statue was very interesting. There is not a lot to see in Messina but when you are on cruise it was fine.
