About Messina - presentation, information, photos and recommendations
The advantages of natural port of Messina and strategic location of the city have been appreciated since antiquity. The settlement was conquered, ruled and destroyed in turn by the Greeks, the Carthaginians, the Mamertine, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, Normans, French, Spaniards and Italians. More devastating than the destruction caused by earthquakes, wars were: no other Italian city did not suffer so much from them.
In the Strait of Messina, between the tip "boot" (Peninsula Italy) and Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean waters meet the Ionian and Tyrrhenian Sea. Since there is a difference of one meter between levels of the two pools, the strait is formed strong sea currents.
Messina | Messina is the third largest city in Sicily, Italy, and the provincial capital of the same name. In this city of 351 882 people live.
