Torture Museum of San Marino: "A journey through human cruelty" Few phenomenons kept their essence intact through time as the subject of this exhibit. From the Jock’s Mare or Skull Splitter to the shock treatment or psychiatric drugs, there is always been a long series of new instruments, so it is hard to talk about progress or evolution. Through this appalling journey into the machines used to cause death, public mockery and pain, the exhibit shows horrors that our conscience has repressed but that had been part of human coexistence for many centuries instead. Famous tortures that make us shiver but demonstrate how men applied as much creativity into the field of technology and into finding new ways to inflict pain as into arts and culture. The purpose of the exhibit is practicing our memory, documenting the aberrations of intolerance and zealotry which men achieved in their clear headed delirium to intentionally provoke harm and death.

So my wife wasn't super into the museum, but I had looked forward to it immensely, maybe because I just love history and the study of human behaviour. We saved this museum for last (mainly because it is near the entrance to the city); it did not disappoint at all. My wife was indeed a bit grossed out (well, maybe more turned off, than all-out grossed out), however she found the museum interesting and shocking as well. Essentially, there are a few dozen torture devices that are on display, preserved (or recreated) and there is a description next to it, in 4 different languages (I believe it was French, Italian, English and Spanish). While the devices themselves have you a bit... shell-shocked, reading the descriptions make you cringe even more, as they give you excellent insight into just how depraved and, "evil," the human mind can be. Devices range from the Chastity Belt, to the "Iron Maiden" of Nuremberg, etc., however the device at the very bottom (last stop) of the museum, was my, "favourite;" the "Water Drop Torture," (Chinese Water Torture). After going through a museum with fiendish devices made of wood and iron, to see a form of torture that isn't based around an object, but rather an almost exclusively psychological method, makes for a refreshing change to end off the tour. Definitely a stop for anyone with any interest in history or human behaviour, to see, when in San Marino.

I recommend visiting both the two towers that are open to the public, including this one of course. Entrance fee is really cheap, but I advise to go ahead and get the pass which gets you into a few museums. Sure there are many, many weapons in this museum, though for me it was more about the excellent views you get of the city. Great photo-op!

Very small cozy museum with a fun exhibition. A lot of interesting stories and theories about vampires and werewolves, both in Italian and English. Great place!
