Founded as Zancle in the second half of the 8th century BC. by Chalcidian Greeks, its name was changed to Messene in about 490 BC. with the arrival of settlers from Messenia. Later conquered by Syracusans, Mamertines and Carthaginians, it came under the influence of Rome in 264 BC. After the fall of the Empire, Messina was dominated by the Goths before passing to Byzantium in 553 and Arab rule in 843. It became a Norman possession in 1061.

Messina in Sicilia - Chiesa di San Francesco D'Assisi
E' il primo tempio eretto dall'Ordine Francescano in Sicilia. La prima pietra per la fabbrica, interamente finanziata dai Nobili Messinesi del Terz'Ordine, giunse da Napoli inviata dal Papa Alessandro IV nel 1255, regnanti gli Angioini.
La sua forma slanciata riecheggia architetture nordiche, originariamente aveva un convento e sorgeva fuori dalla cinta muraria. Le possenti absidi, riedificate dopo il terremoto del 1908, sono state immortalate in un dipinto del grande Antonello. Pazientemente ricostruite anche il portale di facciata, il rosone, il portale laterale e parte del pavimento a intarsi di pietra. Dispersi grandi dipinti del XVI e del XVII secolo nonchè i più importanti monumenti sepolcrali (le tombe di Federico III d'Aragona e di altri componenti la sua famiglia). La chiesa è nota ai messinesi come l' "Immacolata" per la statua argentea della Vergine che vi si conserva.
