Tindari is an immensely powerful sacred mountain atop which sits the sacred shrine of The Black Madonna of Tindari. The shrine is a powerhouse of sacred healing energy and ancient magic! Be sure to visit the basilica as well as the Greek historical ruins and talk to the kind local shop keepers as well! If you want to know more about the Black Madonna within Christianity I highly recommend you read Jean Hani’s book “The Black Virgin: A Marian Mystery” before going to Tindari so you can fully appreciate what you are experiencing there!

Most Beautiful Chapel on the Island! Quite possibly the most beautiful chapel I have ever seen. I can’t imagine how long this must have taken to build. It is so ornate throughout. From the amazing stained glass to the marble floors to the most beautiful mosaics I’ve ever seen. This would have been difficult anywhere, but you add the fact that it is on top of a giant mountain from centuries ago? No idea how they did this. And it’s gorgeous on the outside as well, with an incredible view. If you only get to visit one chapel in Sicily, make it this one! Absolutely worth your time (you can even visit the Roman ruins next door). Also, there’s free parking part way up and a bit of a walk to the chapel. Be prepared to walk through several vendors, but I recommend getting some flavored peanuts to make the rest of your day more flavorful.

In Sicily, I visited quite a few churches — from those in Monreale to Cefalù, Palermo, and Syracuse — and I must say, this one was among the most beautiful, if not the most beautiful.

Visited as part of our Youth Jubilee program. The church is beautiful beyond words. The ceramics were just beautiful. If it wasnt because of our tight schedule, i would love stay abit longer to pray and enjoy the scenery.

Beautiful place on the cliffs. The story of the Black Madonna is also very interesting. I recommend visiting together with the archaeological park (which is closed mondays)

This is certainly worth the walk up the hill from the resort of Marinello. Beautiful building and stunning views

Parking is below the sanctuary and you go up with a bus, cost us only €1 per person. The church is absolutely beautiful and huge, Well kept and clean Stunning views over looking the Laghetti di Marinella over a sunset

Ancient theatre. Beautiful seaside location. Occasional special performances.

The theatre is a highlight, with panoramic views across the beautiful bay. I feel it lacked English commentary on the already sparse Italian information boards. Though my imagination could fill in the blanks, it would have a lot more impact with more information. I recommend the audio guide if you can find it.

Lovely old ruins right on top of a big hill overlooking the sea. Some well-preserved mosaics were a particular highlight. Recommend parking next to the big church and walking the last bit as the streets are very narrow.

The museum is very detailed and worth visiting at least once. Unfortunately, receptionist in the ticket office quite rude and considering that this place should survive from the tourism - very inattentive. No other staff around to ask for any help or directions. Toilets seem better day.

Very interesting and worth visiting. We were surprised that there were not many people there.

20-30 minutes you go around it. Beautiful x Entrance costs €6 per person.

Black Madonna is here. The outdoor features are simply amazing for how ancient they are. Worth touring versus other ancient historical ruins sites
