Facade

The town of Cesenatico is located on the Adriatic coast 30 kilometres south of Ravenna.

The Chiesa dei Cappuccini is located in Vicolo Cappuccini (between Via Baldini and Via Aurelio Saffi). In October 1722 King James III and VIII and Queen Maria Clementina stayed at the monastery; they were returning to Rome from Lucca. High up on the wall of the portico to the right of the church is a modern Italian inscription which records the visit.

Inscription

Cesenatico can easily be reached by train from either Ravenna or Pesaro. Trains run almost every hour. When travelling from Pesaro, sometimes one must change trains at Rimini. From the train station, walk south-east along Viale Cecchini (parallel to the train tracks). After crossing the canal, immediately turn left on Via G. Bruno; after one block, turn right on Via Aurelio Saffi. The first turn on the left is Vicolo Cappuccini; the church is on the right side.
