ROCCA GUAITA - PRIMA TORRE

The Prima Torre of the Rocca Guaita: Living History of San Marino
The Rocca Guaita, also known as the First Tower, is the oldest and most iconic of the three towers that crown Mount Titano in the Republic of San Marino. Built in the 11th century, this fortress played a crucial role in the defense of the world’s oldest republic. Its strategic location and imposing medieval architecture made it a symbol of resistance and freedom against invaders over the centuries.
Originally conceived as a simple watchtower, the Guaita was expanded and fortified over the following centuries, eventually becoming a true military citadel. During the Middle Ages, it also served as a prison, with cells that can still be visited today. Built from local stone and harmoniously integrated with the natural landscape of Mount Titano, it exudes a timeless, austere beauty that is now recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
With its battlemented walls, central tower, and panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, the Rocca Guaita is not only an architectural gem but also a tangible testament to the Sammarinese identity.
