Considering the 3 million visitors a year, which is quite a high number for such a small palce, the attractions are not many. There are several museums and fortifications of Mount Titano. Three fortresses, built in the Middle Ages, are really worth visiting: they are fortress la Rocca, fortress la Cesta, and fortress Montale. From this last one, if the weather's fair, there are superb views over the surrounding area and the rest of the Republic of San Marino.
