Rimini is famous for... the SEA! Rimini, The coastal City The story of Rimini is a story of the sea and its people. Since Roman times and ancient Ariminum, the city has always had in the port and in seafaring one of its beating hearts. We find a precious trace of this in the mosaics dating back to the 1st-2nd centuries A.D. housed in the City Museum, black and white tesserae composing designs of the port with the lighthouse, ships, and fish of the Adriatic. The fishing industry is still important today, handing down the craft of fishing and supplying the city with excellent fresh fish every day: we recommend a trip to the San Giuliano fish market, one of the most important in the Adriatic, where the fish exchange takes place before dawn, or to the Mercato coperto in the centre to admire the many varieties displayed by skilful hands while strolling among the colourful stalls. Staying in the centre, visit the Vecchia Pescheria (Old Fish Market) in piazza Cavour, an architectural marvel by Giovan Francesco Buonamici dating back to 1747, where you will find the long Istrian stone stalls on which the women used to sell the poveracce (clams). Next to the Pescheria is Piazzetta San Gregorio, known to the Rimini people as piazzetta delle poveracce (clams’ square), because this is where the daily sale of clams took place, and not only until 1969. Cross Ponte di Tiberio and reach Borgo San Giuliano, the old fishermen’s village, and lose yourself in its narrow streets and colourful houses, where you will find bars, taverns and murals that tell of Fellini’s films, life and characters of places. . #rimini #fyp #perte #twitch - @kr1sh_00
