12/04/2024: Located in the historic center, the "Ripa Maris" arcades are the oldest public arcades known in Italy. The beginning of the works for their construction dates back to 1125. Originally the sea occupied the space of the current square in front. The street was built to create space for port trade. Currently the road is about 500 meters long. In the ancient premises there are typical trattorias, characteristic shops and the fry shops sung by Fabrizio De Andrè. There is also no shortage of food shops run by the Indian, African and Central American communities. The central part of the porticoes presents itself in its original appearance, while the remaining part was rebuilt in the 19th century. The facades of the medieval buildings above the porticoes present an architectural coherence except for the building in the centre, the result of reconstruction after the Second World War world, of the buildings destroyed by the aerial bombing of 10/22/1942. In my opinion an opprobrium!
