A visit is highly recommended during the off-season.

The Third Tower known as the Montale Tower dates back to the late 13th century. It is the “smallest” in size, but it played a strategic role in defense: in fact, it is placed in the best position for lookout. It is a fortress with a pentagonal plan, restored several times over the centuries, most recently in 1935. The interior contains an 8-meter-deep dungeon known as the “bottom of the tower.” Around the Montale can be seen very old large boulders of rock, stacked in a primitive manner in the guise of walls. The section of wall leading from the Second Tower to the parking lot of the ancient quarry belongs to the remains of the second city wall built in the 13th century. The city of San Marino, in fact, was fortified by three sets of walls built at three different times and largely torn down to allow the city to expand. This tower is not open to the public for visits and can only be admired from the outside.

Picturesque, Sacred, Beautiful! A must-see for anyone traveling in these parts.

"A privileged place is reserved in the Bible for Mary, who was chosen to become the Mother of God and to participate positively in the Incarnation and Redemption. In the past, the grace of divine election was emphasized above all. Today, Mary's response is also emphasized, her yes, or rather, her 'active and responsible consent'. A responsible and courageous yes to a task that involved the whole world..." Text: Albino Luciani, Patriarch of Venice, 1975 (later Pope John Paul I)

I was very impressed by the infrastructure of the city, it's something you have to see and it's on the mountain.

There is a great one here, but I didn't see a door on the tower.

The third tower, known as the Montale Tower, dates back to the late 13th century. Although it is the "smallest" tower, it played a strategic role in defense: it is located in the best observation position. It is a fortress with a pentagonal plan, which has been restored several times over the centuries, most recently in 1935. Inside there is an 8-meter-deep dungeon called the "floor of the tower". Around the Montale you can see very old large boulders stacked in a primitive way in the shape of walls. This tower can only be visited from the outside.
