The three fortresses or Three Towers of San Marino were built on the three peaks of Mount Titano as a symbol of the Republic of San Marino. They found their place on the flag and the coat of arms of the republic, and many souvenirs have exactly this motif. The fortresses date from the 11th, 13th, and 14th centuries and have formed the defense system of the republic through the centuries. The inhabitants of San Marino are very proud of these fortresses and are devoted to preserving them for future generations, which will be cristal-clear to you by the condition of the fortresses and the area around them.
