As you lean out of the charming little balcony, you can admire the Garibaldi arch that marks the entrance to the old city.
This is where Garibaldi and his Thousand entered after landing on May 11th, 1860. At that time, it was called "Porta di Mare" and, together with Porta Nuova, Porta Mazara, and Porticella, it was part of the quadrilateral that delimited the city center. Crossing Porta Garibaldi means entering the heart of Marsala. Because from this entrance, which played a significant role in Italian history, you will immediately be immersed in the typical colors and smells of Marsala's tradition.
Just after the Porta, on the right, there is the back entrance to the fish market, where the most appreciated fish varieties of the Mediterranean coexist with other essential representatives of local gastronomy. Here, between a form of pecorino cheese, a panelle sandwich, and a piece of rianata pizza, they offer their very personal welcome.
You have chosen B&B Nonno Gino, and you are in a privileged spot in the city, remember that!
Just outside, in front of the entrance gate, you will find the Tapestry Museum. Right around the corner, you'll see the Mother Church, the cathedral of Marsala, the Spanish quarter, now the headquarters of the Municipality, the Garibaldi Museum housed in the monumental complex of San Pietro, the archaeological park, the Sibyl's Cave and the mosaics of the Roman insula, and the Punic ship inside the Baglio Anselmi museum.
