The importance Rimini achieved during the Roman Age is evidenced by the city's two most important monuments, Tiberius Bridge and the Arch of Augustus. Rimini's old town develops between these two monuments, and is scattered with spacious squares, prestigious palaces and precious finds dating back to the period when the city was ruled by the Malatesta family. Rimini's most representative medieval and Renaissance landmarks are Castel Sismondo, the former residence of Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta , and the Malatesta Temple, which was designed by the illustrious architect Leon Battista Alberti and whose interior cherishes outstanding works of art by Agostino di Duccio and Piero della Francesca. Rimini's historical beauties are complemented by trendy clubs, stylish boutiques and lively bathing establishments.
