Torture Museum San Marino

The Museum of Torture houses over 100 historical instruments and devices used for interrogation and punishment between the 16th and 18th centuries.

During medieval times, these torture instruments were employed by authorities across Europe to extract confessions and maintain social control through physical torment.

The museum exhibitions examine how methods of punishment reflect the evolution of justice systems and societal attitudes toward human rights through centuries.

Located at Contrada San Francesco 2, the museum operates daily from 10 AM to 7 PM in summer, with reduced hours during winter months.

The collection includes rare implements such as the Flaying Cat, Spanish Spiders, and Heretic's Fork, which remain preserved in their original conditions.
