Popular Places in San Marino
The Three Towers of San Marino
Although San Marino is rich in natural beauty, its humanmade infrastructures aren't to be scoffed at. Three magnificent towers sprawl over different parts of the country, each making for a worthwhile visit.
First, there's the Guaita Tower, the oldest and most well-known of the towers. Then, there's Cesta Tower, an observation point with gorgeous views. Finally, there's Montale, built in the late 13th century. It was once vital in San Marino's defence.
Visiting all of San Marino's monuments will cost you around €8.00.
The Basilica of Saint Marino
This beautiful 19th-century church is a wonderful piece of architecture, eye-catching thanks to its neoclassical style, large stone pillars and engraved walls.
A basilica is an important building in the Catholic church that received its title thanks to the Pope. Because of this, many view basilicas as pilgrimage locations.
