Detailed itinerary

1

Entrance door to the historic center fully accessible.
Built in chisel-smoothed gray stone, it represents the first access arch built during the construction of the third city wall in the 16th century. On the external facade a small balcony dating back to the 16th century is clearly visible, on the front of which the coat of arms of the Republic is carved

2

Piazza del Titano is a lively corner of the historic center of San Marino, which has been included among the UNESCO heritage sites. There is no better place to appreciate the architectural beauty of San Marino and to people-watch than sitting at the tables of a bar. The square also houses a splendid museum, which illustrates the archaeological and artistic history of the nation and the evolution of its currency.

From the center of Piazza del Titano, observe the austere architecture of its buildings, which feature recurring features such as pillars and simple balconies. On one side of the square an imposing arched door is visible. Under one of the arches there is a bas-relief representing San Marino as a bricklayer.

3

The Cava dei Balestrieri is a historical landmark of the city and can be easily visited as soon as you arrive in the historic center because it is located a stone's throw from the cable car stop.
Its initial use was as a quarry for the recovery of materials and for the extraction of the stone necessary for the restoration of the nearby Palazzo Pubblico.

From the 1960s onwards this area was equipped for shooting with the large Italian crossbow, an ancient game of arms which is today part of the historical recovery and folklore of the Republic of San Marino. The inauguration of the Cava dei Balestrieri officially took place on 3 September 1971.

4

Unmissable panoramic point from which to enjoy the view of San Marino and Romagna, between the rolling hills and the Adriatic Sea.

5

It is the heart of San Marino political life and its history and it is here that the installation ceremony of the Captains Regent takes place every 6 months: on 1 April and 1 October every year.

6

The Basilica of San Marino is the main Catholic place of worship in the City of San Marino, belonging to the diocese of San Marino-Montefeltro; it is dedicated to the patron saint of the city and the state. It is located in Piazzale Domus Plebis.
