Super weird museums

Although San Marino is not as well-known for tourism as its European neighbors, its unique qualities entice visitors to return. The well-known food, charming medieval old town, and fascinating history are more than enough reasons to schedule a second trip to the hilly microstate encircled by north-central Italy.

A visit to San Marino is an extraordinary excursion thanks to the unexpected variety of bizarre museums there, including the Museum of Curiosities and the Torture Museum, which takes tourists on a tour through human brutality. Over 100 actual torture tools from the 16th and 17th centuries are on display at the Torture Museum, which takes visitors on a journey through human savagery. It also has philological reconstructions from the 18th and 19th centuries, like an iron chair and Spanish spiders. Visitors are astounded by each of these devices, which spark conversation about the complexity of torture techniques.

The museum of the creatures of the night, which is situated in San Marino's historic neighborhood, invites guests on a quest to discover the most fanciful characters that have long disturbed people's psyches, including werewolves, ghosts, and bloodsuckers. In particular, the myths surrounding the two frightening phenomena of lycanthropy and vampirism are explored in a fascinating exhibition that traces some of the history and cultural beliefs of European nations. This is a tour through some of the most iconic horror movie characters, including Dracula, Nosferatu, the Vampire of London, and Countess Bathory.
