A short distance from the apartment are still visible the ancient foundations of the Arab settlement and the Sea Castle, and the churches where the communities of merchants gathered from what in the nineteenth century will be called "the Maritime Republics", Genoese, Pisans, Amalfi, Venetian, or far east, including: S. Giorgio dei Genovesi, Santa Eulalia dei Catalani, S. Andrea, protector of Amalfi. The commercial origin of the "mandamento" is attested by the name of the surrounding streets, which refer to the now disappeared crafts: Via dei Materassai, Via dei Tintori and is still kept alive by the presence of numerous silverware shops. A short distance away there is access to the famous "Vucciria", historically home to the commercial lodges and then market. Another historic market quite close is that of Ballarò. On foot you can easily reach all the historical and architectural evidence of the city; very pleasant is the walk along the Cala, the original port. Entirely recovered from degradation, it offers numerous solutions for relaxation and outdoor sports.
