The Republic of San Marino, known as the “Ancient Land of Freedom,” is a small independent state nestled between Romagna and Marche. In 2008, its historic center and Mount Titano were recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for being a unique testimony to the continuity of a free republic since the Middle Ages.
The city of San Marino rises dramatically on a towering rock, with its charming narrow streets lined with shops and artisan boutiques. These winding alleys weave through the ancient walls and lead visitors up to the three iconic towers — Guaita, Cesta, and Montale — strategically perched on the highest points of Mount Titano. From here, you can enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Adriatic Riviera. For a unique experience, the towers are also accessible via a scenic cable car ride.
Medieval Days and Unmissable Events
During the summer months, the historic center transforms for the famous Medieval Days, a magical event featuring traditional games, medieval music, period costumes, parades, and authentic food tastings. Visitors are transported back in time, experiencing the atmosphere and flavors of centuries past.
In October, San Marino hosts the prestigious Rally Legend, an international rally event where legendary drivers and iconic cars compete along the winding streets of the Republic, attracting motorsport enthusiasts from all over the world.
