Viewpoint (Or Lookout) sights in Messina

  1. A

    Campanile

    The elegant campanile houses the world’s largest astronomical clock. It strikes at noon, setting in motion a procession of slow-moving bronze automata that set off a comical roaring lion and crowing cockerel. You can climb the bell tower and see the enormous figures up close and personal.
