San Leo: Medieval Town In Italy - Torture Gala

#BlogVille #SanMarino #SanLeo - On my second day, we left San Marino early in the morning and drive some of the fantastic motorcycle roads up to a medieval town called San Leo. The roads were perfect for motorcycles, twisting left and right, sharp - often 340°. Too bad we were in a van.

San Leo is a very old town, with a church dating back before 810, built using pagan temple stones, and a cathedral dating back to around 1100. The castle on the hill is as good as impregnable, built on steep cliffs, with only one access road, anyone stupid enough to attack will be sorry for the short life they will live.
