Monte Scuderi, the magical mountain, full of hidden treasures. It is said that to reveal (find) the immense treasure hidden at the top of the mountain (the "Trovatura," as these hidden treasures are called in Sicily), one must first catch three fish from the Sea of Ali. They must then be brought "still alive" and on a "handkerchief woven by a virgin" to the top of the mountain. There, they will be cooked, and from them will emerge a huge serpent that will coil three times around the seeker's body. However, the seeker must not be afraid, or he will end up in distant, desolate lands. Once this is done precisely and carefully, a crack will open in the mountain, and upon entering, he will find a hen with seven chicks made of solid gold. Now, I don't know if I've remembered this story correctly, but the fact remains that Monte Scuderi has always represented a magical mountain, full of mystery, for the citizens of the villages below. From its flat summit, a 360° view of the surrounding area is offered. And a cave, visitable where the treasure could actually be found

Magnificent view of Messina

Beautiful church with a terrace in front, from which you can enjoy a magnificent view over Messina. The bells are also visible from the outside.

Just before arriving at the Fort you will find a small plaque with the name and photo of a young girl. It is Graziella Campagna, an innocent victim of the mafia, taken up there by deception and killed there for having discovered the true identity of a Cosa Nostra man who was hiding in Villafranca Tirrena, in the 80s. Leave her a thought, a prayer, a visit

Wonderful bivouacs overlooking the Strait of Messina. However, I advise you not to pitch tents on the plateau of the Forestry Watch Tower because (said by the forestry workers themselves) there is the danger of unexpected and very powerful lightning. For bivouacking there is, just below the Forest Tower, another smaller plateau, next to the access road to the plateau.

The Cathedral of Messina was opened on September 22, 1197 by Archbishop Berardo, in the presence of Emperor Henry VI. and his wife Constanze, daughter of the Norman King Roger II of Sicily. Over the course of history it was destroyed and rebuilt several times, so that hardly anything remains of the original structure. The original beamed ceiling was destroyed in a fire in 1254. The laid-out body of the recently deceased Hohenstaufen King Conrad IV fell victim to this fire. In the earthquakes of 1783 and 1908, the entire interior was destroyed by the collapsing walls. After the earthquake of 1783, the bell tower was demolished and two neo-Gothic towers were added to the two side apses next to the choir. After the earthquake of 1908, the cathedral was reconstructed in its medieval state from 1919 to 1923. In 1933 a free-standing bell tower was built next to the cathedral. On the night of June 13, 1943, Messina fell victim to a bombardment and the cathedral burned down completely again. However, the free-standing bell tower was spared. The cathedral was opened in August 1947 under Pope Pius XII. consecrated again and received the title of a minor basilica. Until the new consecration, the co-cathedral of Santissimo Salvatore served as a temporary cathedral.

The church that houses the sanctuary was built in the 13th century in a mix of Romanesque and Gothic styles. It was completely destroyed during the earthquake in 1908 and the current construction is a reconstruction. There is a monument to John Paul II in the square in front of the church.

A wonderful panoramic point on the Ionian and Tyrrhenian side, the peak is located at an altitude of 1065 m, the view from here repays all the effort made to get there.
