Cesenatico Port Canal, designed by Leonardo da Vinci

Cesenatico, an ancient sea port used for centuries by fishermen, has now become a delightful seaside resort, featuring more than 4 miles of golden beaches that attract tourists from throughout Europe.

The town of Cesenatico plays host to a beautiful and highly evocative historical centre made up of narrow streets and canals. Definitely worth a visit is the Museo della Marineria (Marine Museum), which is located within the harbour that was designed by Leonardo da Vinci in the 16th century at the behest of the Borgia family, who ruled the Romagna at the time.

Moreover, Cesenatico is also very close to Rimini, Riccione, Milano Marittima and San Marino. Further inland, you can visit a plethora of medieval sites, from which you can savour the incredible hilltop panoramas that – along with the coastline – help to define the character of the breathtaking Romagna
