Year: 11th century. Height: 750 meters above sea level.
In the tiny state of San Marino, you will find the World Heritage site - the ancient Guaita castle, whose construction dates back to the 11th century. In reality the old castle is only a part of the architectural complex, which consists of three towers. They were erected much later than Guaita, which had served as a prison since its foundation. The hill Monte-Titano, on which there are three castle towers, is the highest point of the state. Its height above sea level forms 750 meters.
Many tourists visit the historical sight not only to look at the unique century-old architecture, but also to appreciate the excellent panorama of the tiny state. From Italian, the name of the Guaita tower is translated as 'the first tower'. By the year 1475 he had preserved the original form. Since the end of the 15th century and over the course of the 200 years, the gymnast was almost constantly rebuilt. The prison built as a prison has preserved this dark status until 1970 and is therefore considered one of the oldest prisons in the world. Today, the castle is fully equipped for tourist purposes. On the top of the tower are the excellent viewing platforms.
