Not far from the apartment are still visible the ancient foundations of the Arab settlement and the Castle at sea, and the churches where the communities of traders from what in the nineteenth century will be called "the Maritime Republics", Genoese, Pisa, Amalfi, Venetians, or from the far east, including: St. George of Genovesi, Santa Eulalia of Catalans, St. Andrew, protector of Amalfi. The commercial origin of the "commandment" is evidenced by the name of the surrounding streets, which refer to crafts that have now disappeared: Via dei Materassai, Via dei Tintori and is still kept alive by the presence of numerous silversmith shops. A short distance away you can access the famous "Vucciria", historically home to the commercial loggias and then market. Another fairly close historical market is that of Ballarò.
