Piazza Cavour: Rimini’s Elegant Living Room

In the heart of Rimini, surrounded by history and charm, there’s a square that feels like a movie set: Piazza Cavour.
Elegant, artistic, and always alive, it’s the kind of place where time seems to pause, but life keeps flowing.

A stylish leap into history

Piazza Cavour is not just beautiful — it’s a treasure chest of history and architecture.
Here stand three iconic buildings, each telling a story of power, culture, and art:

  • Palazzo dell’Arengo (1204): a majestic Gothic-style palace, once the seat of justice.

  • Palazzo del Podestà: symbol of medieval civic power, with its iconic arches.

  • Amintore Galli Theatre: rebuilt after WWII, now shining again with concerts, opera, and drama.

In the middle stands the Fontana della Pigna, admired even by Leonardo da Vinci.
Once a water source — now a poetic centerpiece.

A place to meet, always

Piazza Cavour is truly the city’s living room.
People meet here for coffee, events, or just a stroll.
Under the porticoes, you’ll find indie bookshops, artisan boutiques, and local treasures.
