A must-visit guide for visiting San Marino

1. San Marino in Italy stands on Mount Titano, a branch of the Apennine Mountains and the Adriatic Sea. It takes only 30 minutes to drive west from the Italian coastal city of Rimini along the winding mountain road. 2. San Marino, with its 600-year uninterrupted history, originated from a stonemason named San Marino (San Marino) in the 3rd century AD. He came from the island of Rab, which was a colony of the Roman Empire at that time. In 301 AD, San Marino built an independent monastic community on Mount Titano. Therefore, San Marino is known as the oldest existing sovereign state and the constitutional republic with the longest history. Since its official founding in the 15th century, it has always adopted democratic voting to elect its two heads of state, which has not changed to this day. 3. San Marino is also known as the "Stamp Kingdom". It is the country in the world that conducts postal business. So when you arrive in San Marino, you might as well go to the local post office, where you can find all kinds of exquisite stamps. If you like any of them, you might as well buy a few as souvenirs. Then you can stick it on your passport and go to the tourist center to get the entry stamp of San Marino, which is also of commemorative significance. Because of stamps, San Marino people also love to collect them, so on the streets of San Marino, you can find all kinds of different euro coins and ancient coins. 4. The famous attractions are the three castles on the mountain. Their national flag pattern is also these three small castles. Built in the 11th century, La Rocca Guaita Fortress offers panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea and the surrounding plains. Then you can walk along the road on the city wall and reach the fortress of Cesta and Montale. From here, you can walk down and return to the city of San Marino. 5. The town hall and cathedral of San Marino. The ruins of the town hall of San Marino are both in medieval style. The church is built of marble and has white interior decoration, which is very different from some churches in Italy. 6. Palace of the Republic of San Marino It is one of the important political buildings in San Marino.
