    Basilica Cattedrale (Tempio Malatestiano)

    Rimini's most controversial Renaissance masterpiece. Originally a Gothic church, it was radically reimagined in 1450 by Sigismondo Malatesta, who hired the great architect Leon Battista Alberti to turn it into a love monument for his mistress Isotta. Inside: tombs of humanist scholars and a celebrated fresco by Piero della Francesca

    Piazza Tre Martiri

    The historic heart of Rimini, layered with two millennia of memory. The ancient Roman forum once stood here, and according to tradition Julius Caesar addressed his troops on this very square after crossing the Rubicon in 49 BC. The piazza takes its modern name from three young partisans executed here by Nazi occupiers in 1944.

    Arco d'Augusto

    The oldest surviving Roman triumphal arch in northern Italy, built in 27 BC to honour Emperor Augustus and the end of the civil wars. It marked the meeting point of two great Roman roads — the Via Flaminia from Rome and the Via Emilia heading north. Two thousand years later, it still stands as Rimini's grand southern gateway.

    Antica Pescheria di Piazza Cavour

    An elegant 18th-century covered arcade built in 1747 as Rimini's fish market — note the marble counters where the day's catch was once displayed and the stone dolphin fountains at each corner. Today it's the beating heart of Rimini's nightlife, packed with locals enjoying aperitivo under its historic vaulted arches.

    Piazza Cavour

    Rimini's grandest civic square, framed by three centuries of architecture: the medieval Palazzo dell'Arengo, the Gothic Palazzo del Podestà, and the 19th-century Galli Theatre. At its centre stands the Pigna Fountain, mentioned by Leonardo da Vinci in his notebooks for the unusual harmony of its water. The square has been Rimini's political and social stage since the 13th century.

    Castel Sismondo

    The 15th-century fortress built by Sigismondo Malatesta as both his residence and his statement of power. Designed partly by Sigismondo himself with input from Filippo Brunelleschi, its massive sloping walls were engineered to resist the new threat of gunpowder artillery. Today it hosts the Fellini Museum, dedicated to Rimini's most famous son. The tour includes an outside visit only.

    The Tiberius Bridge

    A 2,000-year-old Roman bridge begun under Emperor Augustus and completed by Tiberius in 21 AD. Built from massive blocks of Istrian stone with no mortar — only the precision of Roman engineering — it has survived earthquakes, floods, and the bombs of World War II. It still carries pedestrians across the Marecchia today, leading directly into the painted village of Borgo San Giuliano.
