The arch stands at the opposite end of the Corso d'August to the Tiberius bridge and its well worth walking from one to the other.Considering the arch was dedicated in 27BC its in amazing condition.
I have seen plenty of ruins. This is in good shape, but it is still an arch. If you have never seen one before you may be very impressed. What is impressive is that it withstood wars and time.
The Arch of Augustus at Rimini was dedicated to the Emperor Augustus by the Roman Senate in 27 BC and is the oldest Roman arch which survives. The gate's principal function, aside from functioning as a city gate, was to support the lavish bronze statue of Augustus. The battlements on the upper part date to the Medieval period (10th century). It remained one of the city gates until the Fascist period, when the city wall was demolished and the arch was left as an isolated monument.
It is considered to be one of the most visited ancient arches in Rimini and Italy. It is like a symbol of Caesar Oktavian Epoch.
A must see place in the heart of Rimini. Very good location - if you go for a walk in the historic centre you can't miss it.
The Arch is at the other end of Rimini from the Roman Bridge and is an important historical landmark. Constructed from a softer stone than the bridge, it is quite badly eroded. although the main features are still evident. Nice to sit and watch everyday life passing by - it is part of the town and quite free of touristic tack!
An Imposing Roman arch is set off in a traffic oval andserves as an entry point to the old town. Remains of the old town wall extend from the arch along side a lovely park that serves as a boundary to part of the old town and a traffic free zone for cyclists and walkers.
Wandering in Rimini city center is discovering some amazing architectural pieces of Ancient Rome, being the Arco d'Augusto the most famous and stunning one.
Yes thisl one still stays here, where it was first built. You can feel the aura of the many people from the old times went through it.
I pass by here often and I look at it and it think it's nice such an old monument that it's still well preserved , it's also the main attraction of rimini downtown I would suggest to check it
