Rimini entdecken

The Tempio Malatestiano is Rimini's cathedral, a Gothic Franciscan church remodelled from 1447 for Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta, lord of Rimini. Leon Battista Alberti designed its marble exterior, left unfinished around 1460; inside are chapels carved by Agostino di Duccio, a crucifix by Giotto and a fresco by Piero della Francesca.

The Arch of Augustus is a Roman gate built in 27 BC in honour of the emperor Augustus, marking the end of the Via Flaminia from Rome where it entered Rimini. It is the oldest surviving Roman arch in Italy; the brick battlements on top are medieval, and the adjoining city walls were demolished in the Fascist era, leaving the arch free-standing.

The Ponte di Tiberio is a Roman bridge of five stone arches over the Marecchia channel in Rimini, begun under Augustus and completed under Tiberius between 14 and 21 AD. It carried the Via Aemilia and the Via Popilia into the town, survived a German attempt to blow it up in 1944, and has been closed to motor traffic since 2020.
