Rimini–San Marino Old Railway Cycle and Pedestrian Path

Highlight • Cycleway

Watch out for when you pass over the rails, being very smooth, you can slip so avoid changing directions, better stay away from them.

Galleria Borgo

Highlight • Structure

Borgo Gallery - cycle-pedestrian path.
A place full of charm and history, very useful for quickly and safely passing from the climb of "Strada Prima Gualdaria" to Borgo Maggiore near the cable car (or vice versa obviously).

Borgo and Montale galleries
1928 - 1932

"The San Marino-Rimini international railway, built entirely at the expense of the Italian fascist administration between 1928 and 1932 following agreements regarding radio broadcasts and transport, saw the use of over 1000 workers for its construction.
The 32 kilometers of the route were soon completed with an average progress of 25 meters per day. The 17 tunnels are all located in San Marino territory.
The narrow gauge electric railway, to adapt to the steep terrain, was inaugurated on 12 June 1932. It ran on a single uphill and downhill line so it was necessary to build interchange stations.
In addition to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd class cars, there was a saloon car for heads of state and illustrious guests.
Despite its neutrality, San Marino was bombed and invaded. The railway, seriously damaged by the English bombing of 26 June 1944, made its final run the following month to transport evacuees from Rimini.
During the years of conflict, the galleries were also equipped to provide hospitality to the over 100,000 Italians who asked for refuge. In recent years the administration has been committed to the recovery of the tunnels and the route as a cycle-pedestrian path.

Porta San Francesco

Highlight • Historical Site

Main gate of the third ring of the walls, called Porta del Paese or Porta San Francesco, constitutes the official entrance to the historic center of the City of San Marino. Once it was called Porta del Loco, a term that derives from the nearby convent of San Francesco.

Built in 1361 as a simple guard post on the third ring of the walls, in 1451 it was enlarged and raised and crowned with battlements. The Gate, closed every evening in the past, today always open, consists of a pointed arch surmounted by a bertesca on which the stone coat of arms of the Republic is placed.

Under the vault, two plaques reproduce the provisions of the Statute relating to the defense of the country. On the internal facade two stone coats of arms recall the ancient friendship between the Republic and the Montefeltro.

I downloaded a track and followed San Marino, but I think the app needs to be improved. From komoot for problems on the routes, perhaps adding posts in unclear points and suggesting alternatives etc...
