Province of Messina, Administrative territory in northeast Sicily, Italy

The territory encompasses 108 municipalities across 3,247 square kilometers, containing both mountain ranges and coastal plains along the Mediterranean Sea.

The province served as a strategic center during the First Punic War, marking the beginning of Roman military presence outside the Italian Peninsula.

The region maintains traditional religious festivities throughout the year, including the December celebrations of Saint Nicholas in Saponara and Saint Lucy in Santa Lucia.

The province includes the Aeolian Islands, with Lipari managing all islands except Salina, offering maritime connections to various Mediterranean destinations.

The territory features the confluence of the Ionian and Tyrrhenian seas at Capo Peloro, creating strong water currents at their meeting point.
