Rimini City Tour. The Malatesta Temple

Comune di Rimini

Guided tour with VisitRimini.

A guided tour focusing on the authentic jewel of the Italian Renaissance: the Malatesta Temple, to discover its history and all its secrets.
Commissioned by Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta and the first architectural work of Leon Battista Alberti, begun in 1447, the Temple remains a great manifesto of Renaissance architecture, even in its incompleteness.

It will be possible to discover the treasures that this Temple holds inside: the Chapel of the Angels (or of Isotta), which contains the sepulchral ark of Sigismondo's wife, Isotta, Giotto's Crucifix, painted on wood and belonging to the Church of San Francesco, on which the Temple was built around.

And again, Piero della Francesca's fresco, painted in 1451 and depicting Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta genuflecting before St Sigismondo, his tomb located to the right of the entrance and the Arch of the Ancestors, where Sigismondo wanted to place the bones of his ancestors and descendants.

Events may be subject to change, always contact organizers before going to the venue.
