Introduction

San Marino is located on Mount Titano and is known as the "Tiny Country". In 2008, its historic center and Mount Titano were designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Mount Titano stands at 738 meters high and is about 3 kilometers long with three higher peaks: Cesta, Chestnut, and Montale. Whether it's the lush spring and summer or the snowy winter, you can enjoy a relaxing and pleasant vacation in this globally renowned scenic area. According to legend, in 301 AD, a Christian stonemason named Marino hid on the top of Mount Titano to escape persecution from the Roman Empire. The name San Marino comes from this. In the early days, the city adopted a tribal system of government until the establishment of a system of two co-ruling consuls in 1243, making it one of the oldest republics in the world. San Marino is a testament to a long-lasting free republic that adapts to changes over time. The city center has defensive tower towers, walls, gates, and fortresses. In addition, there is a Christian church built in the neoclassical style of the 19th century, women's monasteries of the 14th and 16th centuries, a town hall of the 19th century, and the Titano Theater of the 18th century. The historic center still has residents living in it, retaining all basic functions. The superior geographic location of Mount Titano has enabled San Marino to avoid being impacted by urban changes in the industrial age.
