Chiesa di San Giuliano

The church preserves the relics of San Giuliano Martire and works by Paolo Veronese and Bittino from Faenza

The very first traces of this church date back to a Benedictine abbatial complex (9th century). It was then completely reconstructed in 1553 and recently restored. 

The interior houses the relics of the martyr that were kept inside the Istrian marble sarcophagus, visible in the centre of the apse, until 1910 and today placed in an urn inside the high altar. Tradition says that the sarcophagus, dating back to Roman times, miraculously landed in Rimini from Dalmatia with the remains of Saint.

Masterpieces by Paolo Veronese (The martyrdom of San Giuliano, the saints Lorenzo and Giorgio Giustiniani) and the polyptych by Bittino da Faenza are kept respectively on the high altar and on the third altar on the left.
