Tower of La Chesta

Rocca Cesta, Chesta, La Cesta, Fratta, Seconda Torre
San marino, San Marino
La Chesta Tower is the second tower in the complex of the Three Towers of San Marino, located on top of Mount Titano, in the Apennines. The first mention of the tower dates back to 1253, and in 1320 the tower was included in the complex of the second defensive wall of the city. In the 16th century, the modern gate to the tower was built. Subsequently, La Chesta was rebuilt more than once, but on the whole it retained its original medieval appearance. Since 1956, the tower has housed the Museum of Ancient Weapons, which contains armor, bladed weapons and firearms of various periods in its exposition.

In fact, three fortresses built on the three highest points of Mount Titano are considered the symbols of San Marino. It is their images that adorn the flag and coat of arms of the state. But the most photogenic of all is certainly the Second Tower, built back in the 13th century and occupying the highest point of San Marino right above the cliff, from where the most breathtaking panoramic views open (even in the fog: )
