Roccalumera is a charming tiny village located in the Province of Messina.

Roccalumera has ancient origins dating back to the Roman domination.
In the Middle Age, Filippo IV gave the feudal town to the noble family La Rocca who built the current old town centre. The most important monuments of the village are the Church of Madonna della Catena, built in 1893; the Church of Madonna del Carmelo, erected in 1938; the Church of Santissimo Crocifisso, built in 1740, includes a precious wooden crucifix and a wonderful inlaid marble altar; the Mother Church of Maria del Rosario, located in the small hamlet of Allume, was built in the 17th century and is a well preserved example of the famous Sicilian Baroque.
