A Little History of Rimini:

Rimini was founded by the Romans in 268 BC and was called Ariminum. In 27 B.C. the Arch of Augustus, the ancient monumental gate of the city, was built. Another entrance, the Bridge of Tiberius, was built between 14 and 21 B.C. In 1295 the Malatesta da Verucchio came to power, inaugurating the Senorio Malatesta. In 1432, power passed to Sigismondo Malatesta, who was responsible for building Castel Sismondo and the Malatesta Temple. In 1815 Joachim Murat, in the Proclamation of Rimini, called on the inhabitants of Rimini for independence from Austria.
This was followed by the “Battle of Celle” and the “Rimini Revolts”. For the city to acquire the modern touch of a tourist town, it had to wait until the Grand Hotel opened in 1908, which turned Rimini into an elite tourist destination. Then two world wars took place. The second left its mark: in 1944 396 bombs destroyed 82 percent of the city. In the 1950s Rimini was reborn from the ruins of World War II and became the capital of mass tourism.
Nowadays Rimini is full of optimism and enthusiasm: called by all the Miami of Europe and the capital of hospitality and entertainment, Rimini is today one of the few cities in the world that invests primarily in tourism and is able to offer its guests excellent infrastructure and maritime entertainment, without forgetting the importance of places to visit and a wide choice of gastronomy, one of the most sought-after in the Mediterranean.
