#### Walk along a tree-lined trail to this magnificent citadel, which is one of the towers portrayed on San Marino’s coat of arms.

Montale Tower (Terza Torre) is the least-visited and southernmost of San Marino’s three fortified towers that crown the peaks of Mount Titano. Built in the 1300s, it served as both an observation tower and prison. In the 17th century, the tower played a key role in protecting San Marino during the war with the House of Malatesta. Today see Montale Tower displayed on San Marino’s national flag, coat of arms and one-cent coin.

Unlike Guaita Tower and Cesta Tower, Montale Tower is a standalone tower as opposed to a castle-like complex. It’s not open to the public but you can get close enough to gauge its imposing size. Stroll along the paved trail that meanders along the mountain ridge to the tower’s base. Gaze up at the tall structure and the entrance, which sits at a height of 23 feet (7 meters).

Take a moment to enjoy views of forest-covered cliffs, the surrounding green countryside and distant Apennine Mountains. Spot nearby Cesta Tower and peer down over the rooftops of San Marino city and Borgo Maggiore.

Montale Tower is about a 10-minute walk from Cesta Tower. A trail connects all three of Mount Titano’s towers. Visit all of them in one day.

Cesta Tower is the middle tower, which stands at the highest point of the mountain. Marvel at the panoramic views and see the displays of historic weaponry at the Museum of Ancient Arms. Guaita Tower is the oldest tower, a fairy tale-like citadel that dates back to the 11th century. Admire the belfry and chapel, see work by Florentine-sculptor Bino Bini and climb a ladder to an observation deck.

Although you cannot enter Montale Tower, you are free to inspect the tower from the outside. Guaita Tower and Cesta Tower are also open daily, except for select public holidays, and fees apply. Find full details on the official website of the Musei di Stato.
