About Rimini
Rimini, on Italy's Adriatic coast, is a seaside resort with a long sandy beach, Roman monuments and a medieval old centre behind it.
Rimini's beach runs for kilometres along the Adriatic, backed by hotels, bars and boardwalks, the heart of the Romagna Riviera. The town behind it is Roman and medieval: the Arch of Augustus, built in 27 BC, marks the end of an ancient road, and the Bridge of Tiberius, completed in AD 21, is still in use. Castel Sismondo, a fifteenth-century fortress, anchors the old centre.
