In the heart of the commercial centre town of Messina, 500 m far from the station, this Hotel constitutes the reference point on the market of the hotel offer in the city of the Straits. Messina: among the Peloritani Mounts and the sea, represents both the vital seat of the commerce between Sicily and the continent and a fundamental sea centre, thanks to its natural port able to manage a big trading volume. It was once called Zancle, or sickle, according to the characteristic form of its port, which is half-moon shaped; the territory became a Punic-Phoenician colony before being colonized by Greeks. |
The city had a long period of prosperity and splendour till it was hit by a terrible seaquake in 1908: this was one of the most disastrous tragedies happened in Sicily in the course of the centuries. The Church of Santissima Annunziata dei Catalani, the Cathedral and its characteristic bell tower, which is adorned by an astrological clock with movement, worth visiting. From Messina it is possible to make some interesting and pleasant tours too, such as the Aeolian Isles, Taormina, "Alcantara Gorges" and Mount Etna. |
