One of the most fascinating and beautiful places to visit, in our humble opinion, when in Rimini, is the nearby jewel of San Leo. The town, with its spectacular fortress perched on top of the ancient Mons Feretrius mountain, is a former capital of the Italian kingdom (from 961-963), and home to centuries of art, […]
The piada, or piadina is a perfect gastronomic symbol for Romagna, and Rimini (of course, Riminese will tell you that, while you can get piadina all throughout Emilia-Romagna, the best are made in Rimini). It’s deceptively simple fare, being an unfancy looking flat-bread. Indeed, chroniclers of Italian cuisine like Artusi didn’t even deem it worthy […]

I looked around, but nobody seemed to be paying much attention either to […]

Apart from the obvious differences between the renaissance city (many significant parts of which remain, for example Malatesta’s castle) and that of the 21st – i.e the presence of skyscrapers, electrically powered street lights, and the ever present motor vehicle – one thing would perhaps strike him above all, the move to the seaside.
In the heart of the modern city of Rimini you’ll find some of the best preserved domestic mosaics from the roman world – the so-called ‘Surgeon’s House’ (Domus Del Chirurgo). The extensive complex, now housed in-situ in a purpose built ultra-modern visitor’s centre (which is well worth seeing in its own right) in Piazza Ferrari, […]
Rimini’s Arco di Augusto (The Augustus Arch) is the oldest surviving Roman triumphal archway in existence. It highlights the importance of Rimini in the Roman world, and is the most iconic monument of classical Rimini. Arco d’Augusto- the oldest surviving Roman Triumphal Archway The arch was built in 27 B.C. and dedicated to Augustus – […]
