The city of Rimini, Italy dates back to 268 BC in an area which had previously been inhabited by the Etruscans, the Greeks, and the Romans. It was a road junction connecting central Italy and northern Italy.
It is the birth town of my husband, and in a couple of weeks it will also the the birth town of our second son!
These are a couple of photos that I took on my most recent visit to Rimini.
It is located in Rimini Storico- or downtown Rimini- it is the forum of the ancient city where a church was built in the 10th century.
The existence of prestigious monuments such as:
-the Arch of Augustus- Built in 27 BC- The single gate 9.92m (32.55 ft) high and 8.45m (27.72 ft) wide.
-Tiberius' Bridge- build in Istria stone, it consists of five arches that rest on massive pillars with breakwater spurs set at an oblique angle with respect to the bridge's axis in order to follow the current. It is a bridge over the Marecchia River, which was begun by Augustus in 14 AD and was completed under Tiberius in 21.
-The Roman amphitheatre- Erected in the 2nd century alongside the ancient coastline. The edifice could house up to 15,000spectators.
Wow, what a wonderful beautiful vast history the city of Rimini, Italy contains!
