Four buildings surround the sides of Piazza Cavour, and are: Garampi-Palace, Built in 1562 and completed in 1583 as the administrative seat, is still the city hall. The earthquake of 1672 earned serious damage to the building, so Francis Garampi restored it in 1681, it has undergone further semidistruzione, thanks to the bombing of cities during World War II, has obviously been renovated in the form that you can see today. And 'majestic, has a lodge with seven arches on the ground floor, a staircase leads upstairs from where you see two large balconies to Algol places separated by large windows in a corner of the building is a statue of the Madonna made of bronze. Arengo-Palace, is the oldest of the buildings of the square (the name is "palatium Comunis" in historical documents of the city), built in 1204 and was governed by the mayor Rimini Mario de 'Carbonesi. Obviously the building we see today has changed throughout history (earthquakes, wars and changes of power have compromised the appearance of origin, an aspect that was revealed in part after the earthquake of 1916, when the renovation is has discovered the existence of arches and marble columns dating back just to 1300), but the architect Gaspare Rastelli who worked his last restoration in 1924 tried to respect the original features. The building, similar to other buildings arengale type that we find in other places Settendrionale Italy, has in most of the other tower, which was used for meetings of the Grand Council, was also the home of the mayor and the bottom was home to the city jail. The building has a Roman-Gothic architecture, in fact there are battlements, arches and ogival shape and rows of windows, a staircase leads estesrna the second floor of the building that houses the large living dell'Arengo, which is really one of the finest halls of Italy.

Castel Sismondo
A massive building is no longer visible in its original form even if you can imagine his former glory. Conceived and built by Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta in 1436 under the supervision of Filippo Brunelleschi, was completed to become the official residence of the Malatesta in 1446. The course of time has obviously changed the structure: in 1626 was partially destroyed, and were then eliminated external walls and some towers-use change in 1826, becoming a prison until 1967. A painting by Piero della Francesca in his spelendore raffugura but the original is like a picture that gives us a precise idea of how it was built on the main door, facing the town, you notice the arms belonging to the Malatesta (a with four petals and a pink elephant) and a plaque placed at the side emblem engraved with the name of Sigismondo Pandolfo (who died in the castle of 9 October 1468), written in Gothic characters absolutely. In the central part of the castle there were residential flats, and of course was the site of the most beautiful rooms, filled with fine furniture, tapestries, frescoes and paintings. Today the castle belongs to the town of Rimini, which thanks to an investment made by the Cassa di Risparmio di Rimini to restore it, has become home to cultural events.
Piazza Tre Martiri
A harmony of forms symmetrical features one of the most beautiful squares of Rimini: three Martyrs Square. The area of origin of the square was the ancient Roman forum Ariminium (a strategic crossroads between the road from the sea to the hill and the road Emilia), the court was paved with large slabs of stone (still visible in the square areas protected and enclosed), and the porch was home to butchers shops. Three Martyrs Square, in the course of history was the scene and witnessed thousands of events (festivals, competitions, public meetings), today is the "walking" of all those who visit and live in the city of Rimini. In the eastern part of the square you see the clock tower, built in 1547 and rebuilt in 1759 by Francesco Buonamici (beautiful central clock and dial 1562 1750 lunar) is placed next to the tower building Brioli (was registered a geological observatory, which is then carried out studies on the deformation of the geographic area between Rimini and Rome) to the west of the square is Palazzo Tingoli (eighteenth-century building was destroyed and restored several times now the Italian Credit) south of the square The temple is located in St. Anthony, built in 1518 and renovated in 1672 (a building with an octagonal base built at the spot where Anthony worked a miracle mule - was in the holy place to celebrate the sacrament of the Eucharist , passed a peasant with a donkey that would not take the host, but he stopped the mule and knelt before the saint -), always in the square statue in bronze and stone marker dedicated to Julius Caesar (think the point that 's Roman Emperor spoke to the soldiers after crossing the Rubicon) dating back to 1500.
Malatesta Temple
It is not only the most beautiful monument in Rimini, is one of the most important development of the Italian Renaissance, and wanted to make that Sigismondo Malatesta to represent his glory with the aid of leading experts and art of architecture. The temple was founded on the ruins of a Franciscan church with the permission received directly by Pope Nicholas V Malatesta, Sigismondo began work on the chapel in 1450, and made him (to say her) to make a vow to God's original idea Sigismund was to create a faithful reconstruction of the Franciscan church on the inside, and a new construction of the outer faces key decidedly more modern architect known for designing the exterior facade was Leon Battista Alberti. Sigismund spared no expense, he collected all the marble of the old Roman port and when finished, commissioned marble from Istria, Verona and Ravenna, but the financial resources of Mr. Malatesta finished and work is stopped (it was completed only three chapels and front half) and Malatesta was excommunicated by Pope Pius II because the temple, which seemed more charged, was too gaudy. The work resumed in late '4''and the beginning of '500, and they ended the Franciscans, no more taking into account the draft of Alberti. The temple suffered severe damage and subsequent restructuring, the most important restoration was done in fine 90s, to prepare the temple for the Jubilee 2000, and today can be admired in all its glory. The outside is entirely of marble at the bottom of the facade can be seen three arches, two blind and one open for entry to the temple, the top is unfinished. The side walls, also in marble, have seven blind arches with many windows, shaped ovivale, placed on top. Inside the visitor falls in a surreal atmosphere characterized by "beautiful" in its purest: a single nave, covered with wooden beams. from which there is the arcades that enclose the base chapels. Skip to the eye the difference between the desired by Sigismund (rich ornaments, sculptures and friezes) and the part made after his death, the tomb of Sigismondo, right place, all marble, featuring two bas-reliefs depicting the Profile of the same Sigismund, the first chapel built in honor of St. Sigismund king of Burgundy, you see a balcony supported by marble putti that govern the arms Malatesta; around the temple you can see the angels carved by Agostino di Duccio, the bottom the temple of the cell based relics are accessed through a door within four hundred and one can admire the original design prepared by Piero della Francesca's fresco to realize (is that instead of fourth chapel) showing Sigismondo Malatesta kneeling Before Saint Sogismondo King of Burgundy (the fresco as well as being beautiful is the only evidence of what was done Sismondo the castle that can be seen behind Sigismund) in the second chapel, a statue of St. Michael the Archangel, and the sarcophagus of Isotta degli Atti (love of Sigismondo Malatesta), achieved in the third chapel reliefs by Agostino di Duccio, one of the bell represents Rimini under the sign of Cancer, among the most interesting to see the masterpieces inside the temple: the Crucifix wood by Giotto, the artist created in 1312 specifically for the Tuscan old Franciscan church and a painting by Vasari.
Santa Clara
Last church built before the fall of the Papal State, made with a Sisters Poor Clares convent to house (it seems that St. Francis in his pilgrimage he rested just where stands the monastery), a neoclassical structure, the dome painted by Bilancioni, and del'altare shoulders more the image of Our Lady of Mercy (the church is famous just for an episode related to this framework, it seems 11 May 1850, the eyes of the Madonna began to move, this "miracle" drew to a countless number faithful).
Arch of Augustus Created to honor Octavian Augustus in 27 BC marks the start of the Via Flaminia, is one of the most beautiful and oldest in the Roman era. The bow was the door of the city of Ariminum and was followed by walls and towers, destroyed, made of Istrian stone is placed in a square frame, supported by columns decorated elegantly, is indeed a strange arc for a real proper citizen input, given the size (9mt) could not have a door. was still seen as a symbol of peace. Four shields with the image of Neptune, Jupiter, Minerva and Apollo characterize successivamentein Middle Ages has added a crenellated top.
