Chiesa dei Paolotti, Rimini

In the historical center of Rimini, on the eastern side of Piazza Tre Martiti, there stands the Church of San Francesco da Paola or dei Paolotti Church. It was restored in the 1960s on the ruins of a Baroque church destroyed during World War II. The interiors are decorated with frescoes by Achille Funi and his students. In front of the Church there is a small octagonal temple – the Sanctuary of S. Antonio di Padova, built in 1518. It is dedicated to the “Miracle of the Mule” that took place on Tre Martiri Square during the intercession of Sant’Antonio da Padova.
