The astronomical clock of Messina is an astronomical clock constructed by the Ungerer Company of Strasbourg in 1933. It is built into the campanile of Messina Cathedral.
The mechanism was designed by Frédéric Klinghammer, with the artistic design based on plans by Théodore Ungerer. Parts of the design are similar to the Strasbourg astronomical clock. It was commissioned by the Archbishop of Messina to mark the reconstruction of the campanile after the 1908 Messina earthquake, on the advice of Pope Pius XI, who gave him a functioning model of the Strasbourg clock.
