    The three towers here as so amazing! The views are incredible, we spent hours here just walking around and enjoying the atmosphere. Walk on the trails to the small third tower to get some amazing views as well. San Marino was an amazing place to visit overall but this view really sold us on coming to visit. It did not disappoint in real life at all.

    Well worth the walk to reach, which won’t be difficult for even novice walkers but unfortunately there’s no properly constructed paths for anyone less capable on rough terrain. The views are great, you can feel the history and it’s such a relaxing spot with surprisingly few crowds or groups. One of my favourite spots in the city!

    Wonderful panorama. The historical can be reached by easy walking.

    Genauso sehenswert wie die anderen Türme und große Teile der Altstadt. Zusätzlich hat man auch hier einen wunderbaren Blick von oben auf die Umgebung.

    The third tower involved a forest walk so Deb turned back and I walked on my own. The path was excellent and had lights for evening use and it was beautifully shaded. The Montale Tower dates from the 13th century and can't be accessed as it was largely used as a prison and the door is about 7m above the ground! This tower is quite isolated as the walls surrounding it have been reused as a quarry for local housing! From here the forest path continued down the hill and onto the main roads where I was able to walk back to our hotel.

    The third tower which is another 5-10 minutes' walk from the second tower. The walk is much quieter and also through trees along a track unlike the path up to the second tower. One cannot go inside the third tower and it is cordoned off but one can walk around it. There are good views but they are similar to those elsewhere in the city - especially as you don't have the height advantage that you do from climbing up to the top of the other two towers.

    This is the third tower symbol of San Marino, called Montale, over the second Tower, 10minute by walk. The tower has no entrance and there is no way to climb up. The path towards it is not suggested during rain days, as the path risks to be seriously covered by mug around.

    Bien que comme ces deux sœurs cette tour vaille le détours (essentiellement pour la vue qu'elle offre). Obligé de noter que c'est la seule qui ne se visite pas et aussi que c'est la moins accessible (au niveau du sentier et de la distance avec les autres monuments de la ville).

    Ein sehr cooler Weg vom Innenort von San Marino hin zu diesem Turm. Hier hat es nicht ganz so viele Touristen wie an den anderen Türmen. Landschaftlich sehr schön gelegen und man hat einen super Ausblick. Auf jeden Fall definitiv eine Empfehlung, hier hin zu gehen

    Such a cool place. We went back multiple times, all times of day, and enjoyed exploring every time. Definitely worth it to absorb the views. By coincidence we came on European Heritage Day and all the attractions were free! There were even tactile displays and models of the buildings so you could see them with your fingers. :) Don’t forget to get your passport stamped while you’re there. Food & lodging is a bit expensive, so I recommend staying nearby and driving up to visit. It’s a 20-30 minute drive from Rimini.

    Der dritte Turm wird seltener von Touristen besucht; aus gutem Grund. Es gibt kein weiteres Museum und er kann auch nicht betreten werden, da die Steigeisen auf mehreren Metern entfernt wurden (siehe Fotos). Zumindest die Aussicht und Stille kann genossen werden.

    You can reach pretty easily but it's not so mind-blowing like the first tower. And BTW there are no doors to enter this tower 🙂

    Третя вежа Montele. Щоб потрапити сюди, потрібно подолати шлях вершиною гори.

  • 3/5 Ivan G. 5 months ago on Google • 140 reviews
    The least spectacular of the three towers.

  • 5/5 raffaele r. 2 months ago on Google • 125 reviews New
    Piccola e bella come torre ma è un posto un po' inquietante solo dal pensiero che dentro ci sia una buca profonda 6 metri dove venivano ammassati dei prigionieri

  • 4/5 Freeman A. 1 year ago on Google • 4 reviews
    You can go right up close to the tower, but there is no entrance for the top. There are views of the surrounding landscape however. Overall, a nice place to take a quick hike down to.

    We did not visited this tower as it is so far from the others, but looks really beautiful, maybe next time when we will have more time for it. The tower is beautiful as the other ones.

    If you go from side of the lift (main part of town) you get to see all 3 towers on the way. Nice little stroll with excellent views. You can walk past the tower just a little bit and get a couple more open ledge views.

    Un po difficoltoso arrivarci ma per via del fango. Molto bello il paesaggio. La torre non è visitabile

    Dopo una bella passeggiata sulla cresta della montagna passando da alcuni punti panoramici si raggiunge la torre Montale o terza torre . Punto estremo per l'avvistamento dei nemici in arrivo da sud. La torre è chiusa e non visitabile, peccato dopo la prima e la seconda sarebbe stata la ciliegina sulla torta, anzi, sulla torre!!!

    Pura storia medievale

  • 5/5 Donald G. 2 years ago on Google
    Tereza Torre--Montale is the third and smallest but most remote tower atop magical, mystical, Minas Morgul-like Monte Titano in San Marino.

  • 5/5 Vlado B. 6 years ago on Google
    An attractive city that has remained an independent state. Necessary to visit. The mountain itself is actually the top of the Apennines (739 meters). Since 2008, under the protection of UNESCO. On the ridge of Titan extends the city of San Marino to San Marino, whose history dates back to the early 4th century. The story is that Marino came from Dalmatia. There was a monastery on the hill. The difficult accessibility of the mountain was a sufficient obstacle for the attacker, so they could defend their independence. Izjemno obzidje, ki že od daleč pomeni da je neosvojivo.

    Walking distance from second tower is 6 minutes .enjoy nature and let your mind travel back in time (medieval era)

    I came too late to get in. But the exterior is fantastic!!! Thankfully San Marino is trying to preserve the original look. The current appearance looks like. Reconstruction and preservation. It's missing the original items that really pop out: sconces, wood doors, etc in their original form.
