   Three Towers of San Marino

   Three towers on the three summits of Monte Titano above the capital, which appear on both the flag and the coat of arms of San Marino. Guaita dates from the eleventh century, Cesta from the thirteenth and Montale from the fourteenth; a ridge path connects the first two.

   Tempio Malatestiano

   Rimini's cathedral, a Gothic Franciscan church that Sigismondo Malatesta had Leon Battista Alberti reface from about 1450 as a Roman temple — the first classical church front of the Renaissance. It was left unfinished when he lost his wars, and holds a crucifix by Giotto.

   Basilica di San Marino

   The basilica in San Marino, rebuilt in neoclassical form in 1838 on the site of the fourth-century church, and holding the relics of Saint Marinus — the stonemason whose refuge here the republic dates itself from. The skull is kept in a reliquary under the high altar.

   Palazzo Pubblico

   The city hall of San Marino, built between 1884 and 1894 to designs by the Roman architect Francesco Azzurri. The Captains Regent are invested here twice a year, and it houses the Grand and General Council, the Council of XII and the Congress of State.

   De La Fratta

   The Cesta, the second and highest of San Marino's three towers at 755 metres, built in the thirteenth century on Roman foundations. It holds the museum of ancient weapons and the walk from Guaita along the ridge takes about ten minutes.

   Ponte d'Augusto

   A Roman bridge of five arches begun under Augustus and finished under Tiberius between AD 14 and 21, and still carrying traffic until 2020. It is the oldest Roman bridge decorated with Greek orders, and marks where the Via Emilia and the Via Popilia began.

   Arch of Augustus

   A city gate of 27 BC at the southern end of Rimini, the oldest surviving Roman arch in northern Italy, marking where the Via Flaminia from Rome arrived. Its opening was too wide to close with doors — a deliberate statement of peace; Mussolini's planners cleared the adjoining walls, so it now stands alone.

   Chiesa di San Francesco

   The oldest church in San Marino, built in 1361 and set into the city wall so that its facade doubles as a rampart. It holds the republic's museum of sacred art, with panel paintings from the fourteenth century onwards.

   Italia in miniatura

   A miniature park at Viserba, open since 1970, with 273 scale models of Italian and European monuments on eighty-five thousand square metres. A canal boat runs through a 1:5 Venice, and the section on Italian engineering has a working railway.

    Sammarinese Museum of Ancient Arms

    A museum of arms inside the Cesta tower, holding over five hundred weapons from the medieval period to the nineteenth century, gathered largely from private Italian collections. The rooms are the tower's own guardrooms and cisterns.

   Castel Sismondo

   A castle begun in 1437 by Sigismondo Malatesta, who took a hand in the design himself and had Brunelleschi consulted on it. Only the central block survives — the outer walls were demolished in 1826 — and it now forms part of the Fellini Museum.

   Tempietto of Sant'Antonio, Rimini

   A small octagonal chapel on Piazza Tre Martiri, built in 1518 over the spot where St Anthony of Padua is said to have made a mule kneel before the Eucharist. The bronze statue inside is a copy; the original is in the city museum.

   Fellini Museum

   A museum to Federico Fellini opened in 2021 across three sites — the castle, the square and a former cinema — rather than one building, so that the city itself is the exhibition. Costumes, drawings and sets from Amarcord and 8½ are the core.

   Aquarium of Cattolica

   The second largest aquarium in Italy, at Cattolica south of Rimini, in a group of 1930s seaside buildings shaped as moored ships. Around three thousand animals are shown, including sharks and rays of the Adriatic in a three-million-litre tank.

   Sant'Agostino, Rimini

   One of the oldest churches in Rimini, built by the Augustinians in the thirteenth century in Romanesque-Gothic brick. The earthquake of 1916 shook the plaster off the apse and revealed fourteenth-century frescoes of the Rimini school beneath it.

    Porta Montanara

    A Roman gate of the first century BC on the inland side of Rimini, matching the Arch of Augustus on the seaward side. It was dismantled and moved in 1935, then returned close to its original position in 2018.
