San Marino, with its 61 square kilometers of territory, is the oldest republic in the world.. The republic is divided into so-called ´Castelli´.. The capital San Mariono is located on the top of Mount Titano, with its 750 m above sea level.. M. overlooked everything and is visible from afar..

When you get to San Marino, you come to a country with a long and exciting history.. About 10 km after the border crossing you reach the foot of Monte Titano Borgo Maggiore.. Here the squares from the 13th century have been preserved unchanged.. From here it is only a few minutes by cable car to the capital..


The historic center is surrounded by walls and invites you to stroll through the small picturesque neighborhoods of the city.. Small alleys meander to the three medieval towers built by the citizens as a functioning defense system for their republic and their freedom..

     
San Marino is a very special place because of its scenery and beauty and has been rightly given the status of a UNESCO World Heritage Site..

In the Piazza della Liberta, from June to September, the worth seeing changing of the watch «every half hour» takes place..
