Mare d’Italia

Rimini is an old coast town built and fortified by the early Roman emperors, their works still enduring time and marking the city: the stone Tiberius bridge across the river and the arch of Augustus that ideally separates the old town from the modern developments

During the middle of the nineteenth century, the practice of sea baths started, and many people, mostly young and liberal, were going to Rimini from other parts of Italy and from other countries

Shortly after, the first cabanas and beach establishments were built, and changed forever the face and destiny of Rimini.

Nowadays, Rimini is a symbol of beach vacations and entertainment for most Italians and Europeans.

 

The second largest town in Romagna (with a population of about 125,000 people), Rimini is also an important economic hub for the area, a market and a meeting point for farmers, artisans, especially shoe-makers, and other industries.

Situated at the end of the Emily Way, the town is close to beautiful hills where old castles and a whole different small nation (San Marino) are built.
