Montale, Medieval tower on Monte Titano, San Marino
The smallest of the three fortress towers stands on Monte Titano's peak with a single entrance door positioned seven meters above ground level.
Built before 1320, this tower formed part of San Marino's defense system against regional powers, particularly the expanding influence of the Malatesta family.
The third tower appears alongside Guaita and Cesta on San Marino's national flag and coat of arms, representing the republic's enduring independence.
While the tower remains closed to public access, visitors can observe its exterior structure and capture photographs from several vantage points around Monte Titano.
The tower contains an eight-meter-deep underground chamber that functioned as a prison cell, accessed only through the elevated entrance door.
