Fortress of Guaita, Salita Alla Rocca, Città di San Marino, San Marino

            Built directly on the stone of the mountain without any foundation, the First Tower, pentagonal base, dates back to 10th century, but was strengthened several times later.

Rebuilt in the second half of the fifteenth century, in the sixteenth century it was covered with a pitched roof. It is also called "Rocca Guaita" and between its solid walls, protected by a double wall group (the external one with battlements and beheaded towers at the corners), the people took shelter during the sieges. Some rooms were used as a prison until October 1970.
