museo della citta di rimini

The Rimini City Museum is situated close to the church built by Jesuits between 1719 and 1740 in honor of St. Francis Xavier.In 1773, with the abolition of the Jesuits order, the "College" went to the Episcopal seminary that was sold in 1796 to Dominicans: also this order was revoked a few months later.From 1797 to 1977 was used as a hospital, first military and then civil, suffering many functional transformations.The bombing of the last war has seriously damaged the entire structure. The restoration, conducted by the architect Pier Luigi Foschi, has again led to the suggestion of the ancient spaces, today used in exhibition halls of the Museum of the city.The museum houses the most amazing mosaics and don't forget to visit the House of the Surgeon nearby!

Although most people are attracted mostly by the long sandy beaches and all night discos perhaps fewer appreciate the quality of the art treasures in this city. After visiting the recently opened excavations in the city centre featuring the house of the surgeon I was astounded by thenumber and qualities of the exhibits in this museum especially the mosaics on display, Surely a trip to see the mosaics in the churches of Ravenna should be extended to take in this wonderful collection.

By far the most culturally interesting place to visit in this city. We went to the house of the surgeon to see the beautiful mosaics, still in situ after 2000 years. Then in the museum we saw the recreated rooms that these floors demonstrate. Brought the history to life in a simple but elegant way. Much better than lying on the beach all day turning red!

Full of history, full of art! The house of the surgeon which is just a few meters away from the the museum itself is a sure place to visit if you are interested in the ancient history of science.

The one thing I wanted to see on my trip to Italy was Roman mosaics. I had read that Ravenna had lots, and then saw on Tripadvisor that there were some here at the City Museum. "Some" is an understatement, there were tons of mosaics and the surgeons house is just incredible! You can see the mosaics on the floors of the house, intact and as they were before the house fell. Absolutely amazing to see them that way and not just on a wall. The museum has lots of other things to see, the info is mostly in Italian, a little Russian and a sprinkling of English. I am tragic with language so that wasn't all that helpful, but I could figure out Italian generally so I got the gist of what I was looking at. I didn't view the paintings as I got to the museum at 12:30 and they closed between 1:30 and 4:30. I went back but then had other stuff to do so I didn't have time to see the rest. Also, I had just been at the Uffizi so I saw a ton paintings there. If you see nothing else in Rimini, you should definitely see the surgeons house.

This museum covers ancient discoveries, art, and history. It really has it all and is well planned. They do close for a long lunch in the middle of the day, but stay open later in the evening. Plan your visit before lunch or after 2:30pm.

Rimini (1)THE PLACE WHERE THEEUROPERESTED. MY TRIP TO EARLY SPRINGI came for the first time in Rimini in April. Our arrival in Rimini initially based in faith that the Church of San Giuliano Martire see the famous Veronese fresco. We barely managed to see! At the time of this trendy city, a bit of the past, those when Europe rather bathe in spas, and only timidly revealed the Adriatic Sea, just preparing for the season. As the destination of the current mass European tourism, the middle class, I would say, even the lower middle class. We were met at the entrance to the city, though, the tourist agents of society, on motor-bikes. Two of the'' Vespa''. At the entrance to this famous, historically significant, a place immortalized in Fellini's film. The city is, walking time, become somewhat forgotten pool of Northern Italy. And there used to be a prestigious resort all over Europe. They waited for us, therefore, emissaries of tourism that does not give up. We deliver to the city whose habits and needs, that welcomes guests become bigger than theirs, those guests wanting to stay right here for more. Escorted us to the hotel housed near the coast. Because hundreds of hoteliers lurking guests.And it all started and on that bank. Adriatic. Before about 800,000 years ago when they landed here, people from nearby peaks, named Kovinjano.They went out to sea and stay there. Another water stream, so to speak, has also entered very legend of the area. Landscapes in which they one after the other Etruscans, Umbro, Greeks, Gaul's, and finally the Romans. That remains forever. In the surroundings the former Ariminusa, crossing the Rubicon Water, Julius Caesar came to the battle against the emperor Pompey. Starting the war and entered history. It was the 49th BC. Today, some Rubicon flows near the state of San Marino. There is a phrase - the gambler usually smaller format of Caesar and Pompeii are no more! Rimini, with it's hundreds of hotels, motels, rooms, welcomes guests to meet this part of the river Po to the Adriatic colored gray-yellow gamut.Another city, founded on Mount Titano, San Marino, the corresponding states, no longer opposed the city of Rimini, from which the Malatesta dynasty ruled the landscape for centuries. Romagna. Now that the system of connected vessels associated, travel entities. Superhighway convergence of the city, smaller, San Marino, due to its historical exoticism, and functional Ceremonies, record the expansion of one-day visitors. Which, in the evening, returning to the bars and beds of Rimini.We settled into the hotel'' Viking'', Via Galatea. With the number 4 . Two blocks from the beach. Two stars. Inexpensive for preseason. In the city that inspired famous movie “Amakord”, though nothing unusual. Large sandy beaches were empty. The offing in the haze. Rare off-season tourists wandering the void. Curiosity banished from their rooms. between the two rainstorm and departures between the ancient and less ancient ruins in the old part of the city. On the other side of the highway. Where you can see Sigesmonda Malatesta castle which is now converted into a city jail. But Augustus arcades, Tiberius Bridge and the remains of a large amphitheater. That old Rimini was once appealing and Hadrian. Probably because of th magnificent views of the blue Adriatic and quiet bays. Today, this part of town at night, acting alone. Modern life is on the left right next to him. Temporary resident of Rimini, in the 14th century, the great painter Giotto, whose '' naturalism'' is in the representation of the human figure turning point in Western painting, in its renaissance itinerary, after Rome, Padua and Areca, made a great impact on the local fresco.We spent the evening at Ristorante Teatini, with good wine and seafood. While we have planned for the next morning to go to the Museo della Citta.

Staff were very helpful, if not somewhat directive in what route to take through the museum; it did prove to be the best way to see all in a short time.

incredible mosaics from area digs and a lot of history about Italy and various conquests.

A very interesting museum. Not too many people so it was possible to look at artefacts etc. in peace and quiet and no rushing around.

Casa del Chirurgo (the Surgeon's home) is breathtaking and the excavation occupies the square next to the mueseum, where the original surgical instruments can be seen

Sede di un convento dei Gesuiti contiene notevoli reperti archeologici e medievali.Si può ammirare un'importantissima collezione di strumenti chirurgici recuperati dalla Domus del Chirurgo, insieme a splendidi mosaici. Sono state inoltre ricostruite due stanze.Importanti le opere esposte del Bellini, Ghirlandaio, Guercino, ecc.Museo molto bene organizzato con chiare indicazioni sui percorsi da effettuare per poter ammirare tutto il materiale esposto.

Veramente Bello, siamo stati a fare una passeggiata e ce lo hanno consigliato. il mio ragazzo non è appassionato di Musei, ma questo gli è veramente piaciuto.

Questo museo merita la visita anche per solo per i due capolavori in esso conservati e cioè la pala di San Vincenzo Ferreri di Domenico Ghirlandaio e la Pietà con angeli di Giovanni Bellini; interessanti anche opere del Cagnacci e il San Giuseppe con Bambino di Guido Reni.

Trascurando la sezione rilevante dedicata alle antichità romane, che per motivi di tempo non abbiamo potuto visitare, segnaliamo i grandi capolavori: il Cristo in pietà di Bellini, la Cleopatra di Cagnacci, la pala di San Vincenzo del Ghirlandaio. La sola presenza di queste opere renderebbe la visita del museo imprescindibile per gli appassionati d’arte...Da segnalare, ancora, le medaglie di Sigismondo Malatesta (bello il ritratto di Isotta, celebre la medaglia di Matteo de' Pasti, con il progetto albertiano del Tempio), provenienti dal castello o dal Tempio Malatestiano: una testimonianza straordinaria e affascinante degli ideali del signore rinascimentale.
