Tempio Malatestiano
Wednesday, June 7th, 2006
Tempio Malatestinio is a 13th century temple built by Sigismondo Malatesta that still confounds modern scholars as to what it was meant to serve. It wasn’t a Catholic church judging by the lack of anything Christian about it although used as Rimini’s cathedral since 1809. Sculptural reliefs by Agostino are among the greatest works of the Renaissance.

Santa Maria del Suffragio
Wednesday, June 7th, 2006
Built mid 1900s by Bettazzi and Gaspari. The Dhoniani Order was entrusted with looking after the new church. It’s perhaps too ugly and spacious for its own good. Inside is quite plain. Unusually though the crypt is shared with Ukrainian Orthodox who also celebrate mass here. The complex includes community rooms and a cinema.
