The so-called Arco di Marzano incorporates the Porta di Piazza, which is one of the city gates that gave access to the medieval district of Borgonovo, in the upper part of the city.
The castle stands on a very stratified site, which once hosted the ancient port of the Greek colony of Hipponion.
The Castle, which stands at the highest point of the city, houses one of the offices of the Superintendence of Archeology, Fine Arts and Landscape of Calabria and the Vito Capialbi National Archaeological Museum.
The church, the main parish church of Vibo before the current Cathedral was built, is located at the highest point of the road which, in medieval times, represented the junction between the district of Borgonovo and that of Terravecchia
The church now dedicated to Santa Maria la Nova was founded in 1521 on the initiative of the Duke of Monteleone, Ettore Pignatelli, under the title of Santa Maria del Gesù
The building stands on the site previously occupied by the church of Santa Maria della Neve, founded in the 9th century near the medieval village called Terravecchia.
The origins of the residence date back to works carried out by Galeazzo Capialbi, a man at arms from Benevento, between 1496 and 1514, on an area granted to him by the city Parliament.
The gate, one of the seven that gave access to the medieval settlement of Borgonovo, was located at the southern end of the medieval city walls.
The Valentianum, or Museum of Sacred Art of Vibo Valentia, is located on the first floor of the old Dominican convent established in the city in 1455.
The fragment, currently walled into the former cloister of the church of Santa Maria degli Angeli, was part of a larger inscription positioned over the altar commissioned by Ettore III Pignatelli, Duke of Monteleone in 1598
