There aren't too many remnants of historical architecture in the city due to earthquakes (especially the one in 1908) and World War II bombings. However, there are still enough things to make it worth a stroll through the city centre streets. The areas around the Sanctuary of Madonna di Montalto and Cristo Re offer splendid panoramic views of the harbour and the Strait of Messina.
The closest tourist towns are Milazzo and Capo d'Orlando on the Tyrrhenian coast of Sicily, Taormina and Giardini-Naxos on the Ionian coast, and Reggio Calabria across the Strait of Messina. Via Villa San Giovanni, it is possible to reach Scilla and Tropea. On a clear day, one can ascend the Peloritani Mountains to reach the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Dinnammare, where you can enjoy a splendid view of the entire Strait of Messina at an altitude of 1100 metres. The cult of the sacred image at the church is very ancient and linked to several legends. According to one of them, the panel was found on the top of the mountain by a shepherd boy who took it home, but the next day, upon waking, the panel had disappeared, only to reappear on the top of the mountain. The event supposedly repeated itself for two consecutive days. Upon hearing the news, the parish priest of Larderia wanted the sacred image to be kept in the church, but again, the next day, it was found on the mountain. The inhabitants of the village then built a sanctuary on the mountaintop. According to another legend, the image was carried on the backs of two dolphins, who deposited it on the beaches in front of Larderia, where it was found by some fishermen and later taken to the top of the mountain. The two dolphins, in fact, accompany the depiction of the Madonna and Child. In the surrounding area, there are also several hiking trails.
