The origins of Cesenatico go back to the fourteenth century, when the city of Cesena built the first fortress and the port to have an outlet to the sea. In a short time the small village became an important centre for trade in the Adriatic Sea. In 1502 Cesare Borgia asked Leonardo da Vinci design of the new port, which still survives today. In fact, the original plan also included a long channel that was supposed to reach Cesena, but was never realized. In the Floating Museum of Marine History are exhibited several examples of traditional boats fully restored.
