The district unfolds between ancient streets, once homes to fishermen, and larger, more recent buildings. The Garibaldi district is a lively and colorful area where different cultures coexist, each contributing with their own entertainment or dining venues.
The Garibaldi district is named after the square of the same name, which hosts the monument to Giuseppe Garibaldi, erected in 1882.
