Itinerary

The gateway to the historic center of San Marino. Also called "Porta del Paese", it is an old guard post built in 1361

Opened in the nineteenth century for the extraction of the stone necessary for the restoration of Palazzo Pubblico. Today set up for shooting competitions with the large Italian crossbow.

Stop at the panoramic canton to admire the beautiful panorama and short visit to the Tactilia Museum

Rebuilt in neo-gothic style in 1894 to a design by architect Francesco Azzurri, on the foundations of the oldest "Magna Domus Communis", it was restored in 1996 by the architect Gae Aulenti. The people of San Marino recognize in this place where the Captains Regent, the Great and General Council, the State Congress and the most important civil demonstrations are based.

Built at the beginning of the 19th century on the foundations of the pre-existing Romanesque Pieve. Rich in statues and valuable paintings. The statue of San Marino is the work of Adamo Tadolini, favorite pupil of Canova; the high altar contains the urn with the relics of the saint.

First San Marino fortress dating back to before the 11th century. Enlarged and restructured in various eras, it experienced its greatest importance in the fifteenth century during the war against the Malatesta of Rimini (1463), the last fought by the San Marino citizens as allies of the dukes of Urbino and the Papacy. Officially used as the headquarters of the Guardia di Rocca in 1754, it was used as a prison for centuries, until 1975.
