The Hotel Ardesia, just a stone’s throw from the monuments in the center of Rimini
Rimini, home to relaxation and entertainment, boasts an incredible cultural heritage, which can be admired in its historic center, in its palaces, churches, and squares, making it the perfect destination for a vacation dedicated to discovering art and history.
What today appears to be a brilliant holiday resort was once one of the major Roman colonies, of which extraordinary architectural remains can still be seen, first and foremost the Tiberius Bridge and the Arch of Augustus.
Other splendid examples of ancient times are the three squares that still form the hub of the city’s social life: Piazza Tre Martiri, the ancient Roman forum, Piazza Cavour, surrounded by medieval buildings including the residence of the Potestà of Rimini and the seat of the City Council, with the Fontana della Pigna fountain and the Galli Theatre inside, and finally Piazza Ferrari with the Domus del Chirurgo, also of Roman origin. Other splendid architectural works in the city of Rimini include the Roman Amphitheater and the City Museum.
Rimini is also the city of Castel Sismondo and the Malatesta Temple, unmistakable signs left by the Malatesta family who ruled here during the Renaissance and which today host exhibitions and events of considerable charm.
Various cultural events take place in Rimini throughout the year, but mainly in summer, such as the Medieval Wedding between Roberto Malatesta and Elisabetta da Montefeltro, an event that envelops the city in a medieval atmosphere, the Festival del Mondo Antico (Festival of the Ancient World) with exhibitions, debates, concerts, and meetings to discover culture and history, and the Sagra Malatestiana (Malatesta Festival) with concerts by important artists held during the winter.
Hotel Ardesia, a short walk from the historic center of Rimini, is an ideal location for visiting the beautiful city and its monuments, as well as the exciting events held here.
