There isn’t just the sea and the famous low and sandy coast. The hinterland of the province, featuring the valleys of the rivers Marecchia and Conca, is surprisingly little known and will give the cyclist great satisfaction.
A bike trip through the valleys is like following the threads of history and nature. Valmarecchia, rugged and flanked by rocky masses, preserves the memory of one of the first Italic civilisations, the Villanovan civilisation of Verucchio. Valconca, witness to the continual disputes between the Malatesta and Montefeltro families, is softer though at the boundary with The Marches there are bare erosion furrows.
Not to be missed
The Arch of Augustus and the Tiberius Bridge bear witness to Roman Rimini
There are many monuments indicating Rimini’s Roman origins and its role as capital of the Malatesta dominions. The Arch of Augustus, the gate to the town built in 27 BC and recently restored, and the 1st-century AD Tiberius Bridge over the river Marecchia, a masterpiece of Roman engineering, belong to the Roman period.
The Malatesta Temple dates back to the Renaissance and was commissioned by Sigismondo Malatesta and designed by Leon Battista Alberti. One of the most significant examples of the architecture of the period, it contains the majestic Arca degli Antenati e dei Discendenti, a sarcophagus by Agostino di Duccio (1454).
Following in the footsteps of Federico Fellini, the Maestro of Italian cinema who was born in Rimini, see Borgo San Giuliano, a sailors’ and fishermen’s quarter which, together with the Grand Hotel, forms part of the Fellini atmosphere.
