Spadafora Castle, or Samonà Castle, is an imposing fortification built in the late 16th century around a medieval tower. It served as a noble residence, but also as a base for coastal control. Today, it belongs to the Sicilian Region and is open to visitors.

A beautiful fountain located directly by the sea. Built in 1557 by Giovanni Montorsoli (a student of Michelangelo), it is unfortunately located in a somewhat noisy area between the busy streets of the harbor.

Near the harbor lies a small park with "enchanted" trees (wild fig trees), featuring a statue of Ferdinando II di Borbone. He was King of the Two Sicilies. Although the small park on the harbor road is quite noisy, it's worth a visit for a short, shady break.

The largest astronomical clock in the world is that of the Messina Cathedral, located in the adjacent bell tower.
