The elements comprising the coat of arms of San Marino include a shield featuring three mountains with three towers, each adorned with an ostrich feather weather vane. These towers symbolize the citadels of San Marino (La Guaita, La Cesta, and La Montale), while the hills represent the three summits of Monte Titano. The motto "LIBERTAS" in Latin, meaning freedom, is also part of the coat of arms.
