One of Rimini’s main squares and represents a nerve center of the city’s social and cultural life. Located in the heart of the historic center, the square is surrounded by important historic buildings!

The Tiberius Bridge

One of the oldest and best-preserved Roman bridges in Italy. Its construction began under Emperor Augustus in 14 A.D. and was completed in 21 A.D. by Emperor Tiberius, after whom it is named. Made of Istrian stone, the bridge has five arches and spans the Marecchia River.

Duration 15 minutes

I love this area! It developed around the year 1000 as a fishing district. Today it is beautiful to walk through the narrow alleys and stone-paved streets, the colorful little houses but especially the fantastic murals.

Piazza Luigi Ferrari

Walking toward the center we come to Piazza Luigi Ferrari and its gardens-these are another gathering place for the people of Rimini!

Domus del Chirurgo

In the late 1980s, during work in Ferrari Square in Rimini, an archaeological site of great importance was discovered, with artifacts from Roman times to the Middle Ages.

Basilica Cattedrale (Tempio Malatestiano)

The Cathedral of Rimini! Originally a Gothic Franciscan church, it was transformed at the behest of Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta in the 15th century. The architect Leon Battista Alberti was commissioned to renovate it, giving it a classical and elegant appearance.

Duration 20 minutes

Mercato Coperto Rimini

I personally love markets and when I visit a city I always try to visit them. This one is structured on two floors: on the ground floor you can find fruits, vegetables, a few bars and a small supermarket.

Arco d'Augusto

Built in 27 BC in honor of Caesar Octavian Augustus, this arch represents one of the oldest surviving Roman arches and is located at the end point of the Via Flaminia, which connected Rome to Rimini.
