Arco di Augusto

The Arco d’Augusto stands at the end of Corso d’Augusto like a stone prologue to Rimini. Raised in 27 BC to honour Augustus and the restoration of Italy’s great roads, it once anchored the city walls where the Via Flaminia arrived from Rome and flowed into the decumanus towards the Via Emilia. Corinthian half-columns, shields of Jupiter, Apollo, Neptune and Minerva, and the carved dedication turn a simple gate into a compressed statement of empire. Through it marched armies, traders and pilgrims; later it bristled with battlements as a medieval gatehouse. Freed from its flanking walls in the 1930s, it now works as a freestanding emblem, framing the passage between old centre and modern city.

The place is beautiful with a beautiful garden just across the street. Not much to see but twice a week they gather a local market there where you can get many clothing items at low price. Overall it was worth exploring! 🤩👍

Nice ancient arch near the town centre with lots of shops nearby. Easy to walk around and enjoy some pastries and coffee. Or visit a nearby bookstore

One of several Roman monuments in Rimini which illustrate the importance of the place 2000 years ago and make an interesting walk around the old town, following a route shown on a map issued by the Tourist Office. The arch is at the eastern entrance, and leads out to a linear park between the coast and further inland.

The Arch of Augustus is an impressive historical landmark in Rimini, beautifully preserved and worth a visit. It radiates ancient charm and makes for great photos, though the site itself is quickly seen. Still, a must-see for history lovers.

The final point of the Via Flaminia, built in 27 BC, is incredible to see such structures when you consider their 2,000-year history.

This is the oldest arch in Italy built 27 BCE for Augustus the first emperor. It was not a defensive gate only for show.

The largest and oldest doorway into the city dated from the 27BC. The only thing that stands now is the arch which is impressive in its own right. You can see some old ruins from either side of the arch and there's bench's and an information board next to it. Free to visit and the long road it links to you to the ancient stone bridge.

This impressive Roman arch (the oldest one known) dates from 27 B.C. and was built to commemorate the repairs of the Flaminia Road in Italy and to serve as a welcome to visitors to the city. It is built in white marble and framed by Corinthian columns. On the facade there are the images of the gods Jupiter, Apollo, Neptune and Minerva. Something not to be missed when you visit Rimini!
