Forza d’Agrò, which is one of the most distinguishing villages of the Ionian coast of Messina, is a small medieval hamlet. It is deep in a calm atmosphere which is dominated by the majestic bulk of a Norman Castle. It is like an open museum that holds an extraordinary historical-artistic heritage: the 15th-century Church of Santissima Annunziata, the beautiful Trinity Church with its Durazzo Arch, and the numerous 18th-century noble dwellings.
After visiting Forza d'Agrò, our private cultural tour will continue in San’Alessio Siculo, that is renowned thanks to the amazing beauty of its promontory which is dominated by a huge Saracen castle. "Quartiere di Mezzo", moreover, is a charming area of the village. It is the most ancient settlement with houses that were built in the 17th century. There are still some legends concerning what are commonly called “truvature”, namely priceless treasures that were hidden by the pirates who used to pass by this Sicilian coast.
