Castel Sismondo

Nice building but the expectation of the castle , the inside was all about the filmmaker fellini. My bad. But if you like the history of film a must visit. Within the ticket there is 1 extra museum included.

We got there around 3pm about a hour and a half before closing, there is a Federico Fillini Museum exhibition on at the moment which is stunning, there didn't seem to be access to see any other parts of the castle and restricted to the exhibition areas inside, still worth a visit. Tickets included another venue.

When I got back to Rimini from San Marino, it was already closed. I really wanted to go in and take a look.

I'm speechless. The castle is unique, the way they exposed Fellini's art is really amazing and worth visiting. I love art of all kinds and this place fullfield my soul.

A very small castle that you can walk in the gardens which we did. Due to our short time we haven't been in the Fellini museum, but we got to walk around it and you can walk through the main door in the garden of the castle. The castle it belonged to Malatesta family, one of the richest in Rimini. When we went we were pleased to see the fountains were on with mist spray.

Unfortunately, Castel Sismondo is closing in the noon time, I assume for siesta and I didn’t make it to see it inside. Hopefully next time. Outside is beautiful though with the water in front of it.

Nice but not all building for visiting. There is now museum Fellini.

Castel Sismondo is a beautiful Renaissance-era fortress located in the heart of Rimini. It was built in the 15th century by Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta, one of the most powerful lords of the region, both as a residence and a stronghold. The castle’s design reflects both military strength and artistic ambition, blending defensive features with elegant architectural details. Today, it stands as a cultural landmark, hosting exhibitions and events, while preserving the legacy of Rimini's noble past. A stunning site that’s definitely worth visiting for its history, atmosphere, and beauty.
