Pace del Mela: Milazzo - Lipari

Pace del Mela combines a compact Sicilian townscape with a low-lying river-valley setting in a way that reflects its position beside the Mela River, close to the Tyrrhenian coast. It belongs to the Metropolitan City of Messina, on Sicily’s northern shore facing the Aeolian Islands. The surrounding plain has been shaped by both agriculture and industry: the Giammoro industrial area extends into the municipality, while residential districts retain the scale of a local Sicilian comune. Nearby Milazzo, a historic port town, places Pace del Mela within the coastal corridor between Messina and north-eastern Sicily.
