The Three Towers of San Marino are a trio of striking medieval fortresses situated on the peaks of Monte Titano in the Republic of San Marino. These iconic towers, known as Guaita, Cesta, and Montale, are significant symbols of the country's history and independence. Guaita, the oldest and most famous of the three, dates back to the 11th century and served as a defensive fortification. Cesta, located on the highest peak, houses a museum of ancient weapons and offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. Montale, the smallest and least accessible, was primarily used as a prison.
