Location:	Castello Due Torri (377 m)	by:	Giuseppe Marzulli
Area:	Italy	Date:	14 July 2025

Castello Due Torri has frequently changed its name; it is also known as Castello di Torriana or Castello di Scorticata.
During the Middle Ages, this area was dotted with castles, as the Malatesta family of Rimini and the Montefeltro family of Urbino vied for control of the territory.
This was a Malatesta castle; the family was ultimately defeated after centuries of conflict.
I would like to take this opportunity to recall Werner's panoramas; he posted a panorama from this castle back in 2008.

The image looks a bit over-sharpened for me. But it shows a great landscape.

San Marino is looking so spectacular from this side. The medieval stronghold on the right marks perfectly the end of the picture.

@Jörg: I agree with you.

@Hans-Jürgen: seen from here, San Marino looks very different than it does in the panorama 35168 and this clearly illustrates what I consider to be the main reason for its independence.
San Marino was surrounded by other fortresses, but it occupied the highest position—a crucial advantage in the Middle Ages—and, above all, it was the most impregnable. It was also a rather poor territory; the Malatesta family tried unsuccessfully to conquer it, and others eventually decided it wasn't worth wasting significant resources to capture such a poor area.
