The biggest beach resort on the Adriatic Sea, Rimini is a favored Italian seaside holiday destination for Italians themselves. The city offers an impressive nine miles of beaches, though many of these have private access for the scores of hotels facing the shore. The old town, about a 15-minute walk inland, has many interesting sights, including the Arch of Augustus from 27 BC, and Tiberius Bridge from the early 1st century.

Antica Pescheria di Piazza Cavour

Reviewed By asiyahnoemik - Pula, Croatia

Rimini is a maritime city, and its inhabitants love the sea. Rimini has always based part of its economy on the fish sector, and fishing has therefore been an important activity for collective nutrition. The structure of the fish market (Vecchia Pescheria) is designed to contain the commercial fervor of citizens, with all its typical nuances. Built in 1747 under the design of Giovana Francesco Buonamici, the old fish market (Vecchia Pescheria) forms a two-storey open gallery with three arches, inside is still in excellent condition there are two parallel rows of Istrian stone benches used to show/sell the fish and in every corner of the fountain building allowing cleaning. It is still known today as the piazza delle poveracce, a name used in the dialect to indicate the shells (mussels) , this place is still dear to the people of Rimini, a symbol of folklore and productivity.

Piazza Tre Martiri

Reviewed By asiyahnoemik - Pula, Croatia

Rimini provides many interesting places to enjoy and among them is certainly the Three Martyrs Square (Piazza Tre Martiri). This is supported by his rich history. It is one of the two most important squares in the city, the second is Piazza Cavour. The Piazza Tre Martiri is located in the former Roman Forum, where Julius Cesar gave a famous speech to his legions when he crossed the Rubicon River ( To commemorate this act set small and seemingly inconspicuous Pole or Column of Julius Caesar (La Colonna di Giulio Cesare). The history of the square dates back to 200 years BC. In the middle ages the area was known as "piazza delle Erbe" and was the site of the market, as well as knightly tournaments. Throughout its history, the square has changed several names, including named area of Julius Caesar. Named "Tre Martiri", which translated from Italian means Three of the Martyr, the area received only after the Second world war, as a reminder of the murder of three young partisans who were executed in this square on August 16, 1944 (Mario Cappelli, Luigi Nicolò, Adelio Pagliarani). On the Square today dominates the Clock Tower. It was built in 16th century. And around it was later incorporated the 17th century Brioli Palace (Palazzo Brioli). A little further on the square is the small octagonal chapel of Sant'Antonio (Tempietto di Sant'Antonio), built in the 16th century, and after the earthquake of 1672, rebuilt in the Baroque style. The chapel adjoins the Church of San Francesco dei Paoletti or St. Francis of Paolo (Chiesa Dei Paolotti), and which further emphasize the Sanctuary of Sant'Antonio. Together, the chapel and the Church form a single ensemble and harmoniously fit into the overall picture Piazza Tre Martiri. On the North side of the square is the bronze monument of the Roman General and politicians of Julius Caesar (Statua di Giulio Cesare). As we said earlier this is an extremely interesting square. We did not forget to enjoy gastronomy at the surrounding restaurants and bars. So we visited Antica Caffetteria's Restaurant-Bar. We were extremely pleased with the atmosphere and service. Nice experience.
