San Marino
Welcome to San Marino
An enigma as far as countries go, San Marina is a landlocked micronation and the world’s oldest surviving sovereign state. The crown jewel of the country is the UNESCO World Heritage Site – and capital – Citta di San Marino.
The original settlement is enclosed by medieval stone walls and within, the Piazza della Liberta enchants with its row of cafes, boutiques and restaurants. Walk the path that links the three imposing fortresses at the top of Mount Titano.
