    (Translated by Google) Remains of a real quarry in the center of Marino. Created in the late 1800s to collect the materials needed for the restoration of the Palazzo Pubblico, a symbol of city power. On the remains of the quarry it was thought to build a building to be used as public offices, but the arrival of the Second World War completely upset the plans and dropped the idea. Today the site is used for sports activities related to shooting with the Italian crossbow, a sport widely practiced in the ancient Republic. (Original) Resti di una vera e propria cava nel centro di Marino. Creata a partire dalla fine del 1800 per prelevare i materiali necessari al restauro del Palazzo Pubblico, simbolo del potere cittadino. Sui resti della cava si pensava di costruire un palazzo da adibire ad uffici pubblici, ma l’arrivo della Seconda Guerra Mondiale ha completamente stravolto i piani facendo cadere l'idea. Oggi il sito viene utilizzato per attività sportive legate al tiro con la balestra all'italiana, sport molto praticato nell’antica Repubblica.

    A very beautiful place to visit. As far as I know, in summer it is also used as an open-air theater

    Der Übungsplatz der Armbrustschützen ist kunstvoll in den Fels gehauen. Hier findet der jährliche Palio der Zunft und Mittelalterfeste statt. Mit viel Glück kann man die Armbrustschützen beim Training beobachten, was sehr interessant und sehenswert ist!

    Nothing in particular, but having an open air theatre at such a great height, looks pretty great. There are several trees also, where you can take some rest.

    Ein super schöner Ort. Wir wollten schon immer nach San Marino und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Positiv war auch, dass die Stellplätze gratis sind und man unbeschwert, den Ort besuchen kann.
