Torregrotta (Sicilian: Turri) is a town and municipality (comune) in the Metropolitan City of Messina in the Italian region Sicily, located about 170 kilometres (110 mi) east of Palermo and about 30 kilometres (19 mi) west of Messina.
It is the twelfth most populous municipality in the Metropolitan City and the most densely populated.
The town, located 44 m above sea level in the Niceto valley, lies between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the foothills of the Peloritani Mountains.
Rising initially in the Middle Ages as a hamlet of the fief of Santa Maria della Scala, it was rebuilt in 1526 after a period of abandonment. In the early 19th century it became a sub-municipality of Roccavaldina from which it obtained administrative autonomy in 1923. The 16th-century core expanded mainly from the second half of the 19th century.
A centre historically linked to agriculture, the place of origin of the sbergia, it has lost its traditional agricultural vocation in favour of the tertiary sector. The clay quarrying and processing industry had a certain impetus in the 20th century, dying out almost completely in the 2000s. Medium and small artisanal enterprises prevail.
