Activity itinerary

Porta San Francesco
  • 5m
Porta San Francesco is one of the historic gateways to the Old Town. Through it, travellers physically enter medieval San Marino. The stage tells the meaning of urban gates, access control and daily life around the walls. It is also a transition point: outside the modern city, inside an urban fabric that has remained almost intact. From here the route goes through alleys, shops and views that show how San Marino has preserved its identity over the centuries.
Piazzetta del Titano
  • 5m
Piazzetta Titano is a quiet and intimate space that allows you to closely observe the urban structure of the Old Town. Here travellers discover how San Marino has developed vertically, adapting to the rock of the mountain. The stage invites visitors to look at architectural details, proportions and materials, understanding the relationship between housing, public spaces and defence. It is a place that tells the storey of everyday life more than power, showing the authentic face of the lived city.
Fontana al Giardino dei Liburni
  • 7m
The Liburni Garden is a green break inside the Old Town. Here the route slows down and travellers can stop, sit and observe. The stage tells the link between San Marino and the Adriatic Sea, visible on clear days, and introduces the theme of the natural defence of the mountain. It is a breathing space that allows you to appreciate the landscape and understand why Mount Titano was chosen as the place of foundation and protection of the Republic.
Cava dei Balestrieri
  • 10m
The Cava dei Balestrieri is a unique space, carved directly into the rock. Here, travellers discover the link between San Marino and the tradition of the crossbow, a symbol of identity still alive. The stage tells how this place has been used over the centuries and how today it represents a continuity between past and present. It is also a concrete example of how the city has shaped the mountain without destroying it, adapting to its shape.
The Canton - San Marino Panoramic Viewpoint
  • 3m
From the canton of the Cable Car one of the widest views of the valley below opens. Travellers observe the territory surrounding San Marino and understand the importance of the Republic’s geographical location. The stage connects past and present, showing how easy it is to get to the city today, but also how strategic and protected it was in past centuries. It is an ideal point for photographs and to perceive the natural isolation that favoured San Marino independence.
Piazza della Liberta
  • 7m
Freedom Square is the political heart of the Republic. Here, travellers find themselves in front of the Palazzo Pubblico and discover the functioning of San Marino institutions. The stage tells the concept of freedom, the continuity of the state and the meaning of civic symbols. It is an open space, solemn but lived, where history and current events coexist. The storey helps to understand why San Marino is considered the oldest Republic in the world still existing.
Palazzo Pubblico
  • 5m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Public Palace represents the centre of civil power. The stage explores the role of the Recommendation, the Captains Regent and the institutions governing San Marino. Travellers understand how the political system has evolved without losing continuity. The building thus becomes a key to interpreting the identity of the Republic, based on participation and civic responsibility.
Basilica del Santo Marino
  • 5m
The Basilica of San Marino is the main place of worship of the Republic. Here the stage tells the storey of San Marino and the relationship between faith, community and civic identity. Travellers discover how religion has accompanied the history of the state without ever overlapping with civil power. It is a place of silence and reflection that offers a different perspective on the birth and continuity of the Republic.
Guaita Tower
  • 10m
  • Admission ticket not included
The First Tower, or Guaita, is the oldest and most iconic of the three towers. The stage tells the defensive function of the complex and the role of the towers in the protection of the Republic. Travellers observe the walls, loopholes and dominant position on the territory. It is one of the symbolic places of San Marino, where military history is intertwined with the landscape and the collective imagination.
Passo Delle Streghe
  • 5m
The Witches' Pass is a panoramic walkway that connects the towers. Here the path becomes sensory experience: wind, sight and movement. The stage tells legends, place names and the function of connecting the defensive points. It is one of the most suggestive stretches of the tour, where the landscape becomes an integral part of the storey.
Falesia Second Tower
  • 10m
  • Admission ticket not included
The Second Tower now houses the Museum of Ancient Weapons. The stage tells the evolution of the defence and the symbolic significance of the towers. Travellers understand the difference between structures and their role in the defensive system. It is also a privileged point to observe the surrounding territory and perceive the unity of the fortified complex.
