Biblioteca Malatestiana is Cesena's jewel. If you visit you'll learn why, it's a place where you breathe time and the centuries before you. It houses a nice collection of bibliographic jewels and curiosities. If you're around it's a must to visit.

In the heart of the town, in a beautiful, historical square, here you will find the marvellous "Masini's Fountain".
The Fountain is reach in details and symbols; fortunately, also very well maintained and is an example of Italian virtuosity in arts.
All around the Fountain, the "Piazza del Popolo", a square with an irregular shape surrounded by arcades, offers some of the most interesting town sights.
On the southern side of the square there stands the Palazzo Comunale (Town Hall). Next to the Palazzo Comunale there are Loggetta Veneziana and Rocchetta di Piazza, built in the 15th century.
This is the perfect environment to have a walk and admire the down town of this town, reach in history and interesting details to be discovered (from the Castle called "Rocca Malatestiana", overlooking the town, to the "Malatestiana Library" built by near the castle and considered a fine example of a Renaissance library and holding many valuable manuscripts).
If you are not very interested in the historical aspects of this town, here is possible to have dinner or just an ice cream admiring the buildings around.
Cesena has been for long periods part of the Papal States, and the Fontain reminds it; in the 18th and 19th centuries Pope Pius VI and Pope Pius VII were born in the city, which also had Pope Pius VIII as bishop, gaining the title of "city of the three popes".
Also important to know that during World War II Cesena was near the Gothic Line, which ran along the Appennini near the city, and suffered heavily from bombing.

You have a vista of Piazza del Poppolo at the Tate in London sketched by none other than J.M. Turner. The real place doesn't defraud your expectations, is full of light, harmonious and cozy.

Il Ponte Vecchio, o Ponte Clemente, è il ponte più antico di Cesena, ed è anche uno dei simboli della città. Il Ponte attraversa il fiume Savio .L'originario tracciato romano della Via Emilia attraversava il fiume Savio con un ponte in legno che si trova più o meno nel luogo dell'attuale Ponte Vecchio. Crollato e sempre ricostruito, il ponte romano venne infine sostituito da un ponte in pietra, edificato un po' più a valle per volontà di Andrea Malatesta e poi completato sotto Novello. Nel corso del Cinquecento e del Seicento il ponte venne più volte danneggiato ma sempre ricostruito Infine, durante la Seconda guerra mondiale, quando i tedeschi lasciarono Cesena libera (20 ottobre 1944), fecero saltare in aria la parte media del ponte, che però venne immediatamente riedificata[
