Surprises in a Seaside City: Rimini from Ancient Rome to the Renaissance

You probably know the famous phrase, “the die is cast,” but have you ever wondered where it comes from? Well, look no further. It was here in Rimini’s Piazza Tre Martiri that Julius Caesar first spoke these three immortal words, just before he started a civil war. There are traces of the great empire that followed all over Rimini, including the Arch of Augustus, the Roman Amphitheatre, the home of a second-century Roman doctor, and the Bridge of Tiberius. On this walking tour, we won’t only explore ancient Rome. Rimini is filled with fascinating facets from different periods in Italy's rich history. There are sites from the Italian medieval period and the Renaissance, which put Italy once again on top of the world, including the impressive but unfinished Malatestiano Temple, and the austere Sigismond Castle. You’ll find all of this in a city that isn't even famous for its architecture and history, but for its sandy beaches, exciting nightlife and the hills, fun parks, and historical castles that are just a short drive inland. Give yourself around 45 minutes to an hour to complete the tour. Please note that this tour does not require you to enter any of the ticketed sites along the way.
