Hotel Ricchi enjoys a privileged position, being just a short walk from the town's major centres of historical and cultural interest, architectural splendour and signs left of times gone by that mark the history of Rimini, making it famous worldwide.
The hotel is not far from the picturesque and antique village of San Giuliano, divided from the centre by the famous Marecchia river, with its architecture in timeless stone, tiny streets and squares, so much loved by Federico Fellini, and home to murals that seem to breath the atmosphere of his films.
The festival celebrated every two years in the Village is important - "Festa de’Borg" - calling to mind Rimini of yesteryear, hosting street artists and entertainment attracting the whole town.
A network of cycle tracks makes it easy to reach the centre and heart of the town, brimming with monuments and architecture, symbols of a sumptuous past that reaches our days from Roman times, marking the town's history The Amphitheatre is a must to visit and see as too are Tiberio's Bridge and the Augustus Arch built in honour of Cesare Ottaviano Augusto in the Roman era, all part of the town's symbols. Imposing monuments create a suggestive old town centre, such as the Malatesta Temple that dates back to the Renaissance, built by the famous Leon Battista Alberti; Castel Sigismondo, located in one the entrances to the town centre, with its imposing and suggestive construction with huge towers emerging from the moat like pyramids, commissioned by Sigismondo, lord of Rimini, is proof of his greatness.
The gothic-roman style emerges in the marvellous Chiesa di Sant'Agostino (Saint Augustine Church) that houses the beautiful frescoes of that era.
The three squares that embellish the beauty of the centre are an important cultural and meeting point:
Piazza Cavour surrounded by historical palaces and the famous Vecchia Pescheria that today teems with youngsters thanks to its myriad night clubs; suggestive is the Fontana della Pigna that dominates the centre of the square.
Piazza Tre Martiri, highly fascinating for its past which, with statues and architecture, takes us back to the time of the Second World War where three Rimini partisans were killed by the German tyranny.
Piazza Ferrari is also important and today attracts visitors from all parts of the world who rush to see the latest archaeological find, the Domus del Chirurgo, discovered in 1989 and opened to the public in 2007. |
