Things to see in the Province of Messina, Sicily, Italy
On this episode of You, Me and Sicily we take you around the Province of Messina. First stop is Giardini Naxos which the Greeks first inhabited in 734 BC. They soon made their way up to Taormina, here at every corner there is something to marvel at. We also stopped at one of our favorite places to stop for a snack and to listen to music. Next we go to Savoca and Forza d'Agro, two towns made famous by the Godfather movies but we like to go there because of the quaint cobblestone streets, art and panoramic views.
Next we head to Milazzo and the spectacular castle.
In Sant'Agata di Militello there is another castle with over 400 artifacts collected from the area.
In Tindari there is the Black Madonna. Legend has it she was brought here from Constantinople. During a storm the sailors gave the statue of the Black Madonna to the abbey for safekeeping.
The capital of the Province of Messina is the city of Messina . The bell tower of the main cathedral in Messina contains the biggest and most complex mechanical and astronomical clock in the world. We will have much more on a future episode.

Places to see in ( Catania - Italy )
Places to see in ( Catania - Italy )
Catania is an ancient port city on Sicily's east coast. It sits at the foot of Mt. Etna, an active volcano with trails leading up to the summit. The city's wide central square, Piazza del Duomo, features the whimsical Fontana dell'Elefante statue and richly decorated Catania Cathedral. In the southwest corner of the square, La Pescheria weekday fish market is a rowdy spectacle surrounded by seafood restaurants.
For all the noise, chaos and scruffiness that hit the visitor at first glance, Catania has a strong magnetic pull. This is Sicily at its most youthful, a city packed with cool and gritty bars, abundant energy and an earthy spirit in sharp contrast to Palermo’s aristocratic airs. Catania’s historic core is a Unesco-listed wonder, where black-and-white palazzi tower over sweeping baroque piazzas. One minute you’re scanning the skyline from a dizzying dome, the next contemporary art in an 18th-century convent. Beneath it all are the ancient ruins of a town with over 2700 candles on its birthday cake. Indeed, food is another local forte. This is the home of Sicily's iconic pasta alla Norma and the extraordinary La Pescheria market.
Catania is well known for its historical earthquakes, having been destroyed by catastrophic earthquakes in 1169 and 1693, and for several volcanic eruptions from the neighbouring Mount Etna, the most violent of which was in 1669. Catania has had a long and eventful history, having been founded in the 8th century BC. In 1434, the first university in Sicily was founded in the city. In the 14th century and into the Renaissance period, Catania was one of Italy's most important cultural, artistic and political centres. The city has a rich culture and history, hosting many museums, restaurants, churches, parks and theatres. Catania is well known for its street food.
Catania is located on the east coast of the island of Sicily, at the foot of Mount Etna. As observed by Strabo, the location of Catania at the foot of Mount Etna has been both a curse and a blessing. On the one hand, violent outbursts of the volcano throughout history have destroyed large parts of the city, whilst on the other hand the volcanic ashes yield fertile soil, especially suited for the growth of vines.
Ancient edifices include:
Greek-Roman Theatre of Catania (2nd century)
Odeon (3rd century). It could house up to 1500 spectators
Amphitheatre
Greek Acropolis of Montevergine
Roman Aqueduct
Roman Forum
Roman broken arcades

Other monuments :

Palazzo degli Elefanti, designed by Giovan Battista Vaccarini. It houses the Town Hall.
Palazzo Biscari
Palazzo Tezzano
Uzeda Gate
The Medieval Gothic-Catalan Arch of Saint John of Friars (San Giovanni de' Fleres)
Ferdinandean Gate or Garibaldi Gate (Porta Ferdinandea or Porta Garibaldi), a triumphal arch erected in 1768 to celebrate the marriage of Ferdinand I of Two Sicilies and Marie Caroline of Austria

Places to see in ( Catania - Italy ) Giardino Bellini
Places to see in ( Catania - Italy ) Giardino Bellini
The Giardino Bellini is the oldest urban park of Catania. It occupies 70.942 m². Before the construction of a public garden, the area was occupied by a botanical maze owned by the Ignazio Paternò Castello, prince of Biscari.
In 1854, the Comune di Catania bought the area of the maze, and in 1864 started to adapt the area into a public garden. The Giardino Bellini was finally inaugurated in 1883.
Starting from 1875, the municipality acquired several further areas surrounding the maze, and two years later the work to unify these areas was undertaken.
