=== Architecture ===
Rimini has a varied historical and artistic heritage which includes churches and monasteries, villas and palaces, fortifications, archaeological sites, streets and squares,<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.world-guides.com/europe/italy/emilia-romagna/rimini/rimini_landmarks.html| title= World Guides. Rimini Landmarks and Monuments|page= 1}}</ref> as a result of the succession of various civilizations, dominations and historical events through its history, from the [[Roman Empire|Romans]] to the [[Byzantine Empire|Byzantines]], the medieval ''[[comune]]'', the [[House of Malatesta|Malatesta]] seignory, the [[Venetian Republic]] and the [[Papal States]] dominations.

The city has always been a key gate to the [[Orient]] and the southern areas of the [[Mediterranean]] for the [[Po Valley]], thanks to its geographical position and its harbour, and a meeting point between cultures of [[Northern Italy|Northern]] and [[Central Italy]].

Rimini has monuments of different eras, with important examples of architecture from the Roman age, such as the [[Arch of Augustus (Rimini)|Arch of Augustus]], the [[Ponte di Tiberio (Rimini)|Tiberius Bridge]], the Amphitheatre and the Domus del Chirurgo; from the Middle Ages, such as the Palazzo dell'Arengo, the church of [[Sant'Agostino, Rimini|Sant'Agostino]] and [[Castel Sismondo]]; from the Renaissance, with the [[Tempio Malatestiano]], masterpiece of [[Leon Battista Alberti]].<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/503865/Rimini| title= Encyclopædia Britannica. Rimini. }}</ref>

Rimini's archaeological heritage includes some [[domus]] of Republican and Imperial age, characterized by polychrome or black and white [[mosaics]], necropolis and sections of the pavement of the ancient Roman streets. The city, along with its boroughs and the seaside district of Marina Centro, also preserves buildings from the Baroque, the Neoclassical and Art Nouveau periods, with churches, palaces, hotels and mansions which reveal its role of cultural and trading centre and seaside resort.

The city centre has a Roman structure, partly modified by following medieval transformations. Urban evolution, through the renovation of the [[House of Malatesta|Malatesta]], earthquakes and the suppressions of monasteries, has led to a stratification of historic sites and buildings. The bombings of [[World War II]] caused extensive destruction and damage, compromising the monumental heritage and the integrity of the city centre, which has been reconstructed and restored in order to valorize its historic places and buildings.

* Fontana della Pigna
* Monument to Pope [[Paul V]]
* Torre dell'Orologio. The clocktower was built in 1547 in Piazza Tre Martiri, replacing the ancient "beccherie" (public butcher's), and reconstructed in 1759 by Giovan Francesco Buonamici. In 1875, the top of the tower was ruined due to an [[earthquake]], and it was restored in 1933. The [[clock]], which dates back to 1562, overlooks a perpetual calendar assembled in 1750, decorated by [[terracotta]] panels depicting zodiacal signs, months and lunar phases. The central, blind arch of the porch houses the memorial of the victims of [[World War II]].
