Arab neighborhood in Monforte San Giorgio
The Arab neighborhood in Monforte San Giorgio presents characteristics attributable to models of Islamic architecture.
The neighborhood, also called the Vetera neighborhood, is accessed by passing under the arch that leads to Via Mazzini. The streets almost all develop under Dammusi, stretches of covered road, and the narrow streets rarely open up between the houses leaning against each other. Here you can admire the remains of large sixteenth-century buildings.
