Villafranca Tirrena

Villafranca Tirrena sits on Sicily’s Tyrrhenian coast, where a narrow coastal plain meets the lower slopes of the Peloritani Mountains. The town lies west of Messina, along a settled shoreline facing the waters between Sicily and the Italian mainland. Its former name, Bauso, survives in the Castello di Bauso, a fortified landmark linked to the historic centre. Beyond the coastal development, the land rises rapidly towards the Peloritani, creating a distinct contrast between sea routes and inland hills. Villafranca Tirrena gives a sense of the smaller municipalities lining Messina’s northern shore.
