San Marino, officially the Republic of San Marino, is a small, landlocked country located in Southern Europe, entirely surrounded by Italy. It is one of the world’s oldest republics and smallest nations, renowned for its rich history, medieval architecture, and scenic hilltop views. The capital is San Marino City.

Founded in 301 AD, San Marino claims to be the world’s oldest surviving sovereign state and constitutional republic. It sits atop Mount Titano, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding Italian countryside. The country’s old town, with its fortress walls and towers, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

San Marino maintains a strong economy based on finance, tourism, manufacturing, and ceramics. Despite its small size, it has one of the highest GDPs per capita in the world and a low unemployment rate. It is also known for its commitment to independence, neutrality, and democratic governance.

Visitors are drawn to San Marino for its well-preserved medieval architecture, charming narrow streets, and historic landmarks such as the Guaita Tower, Palazzo Pubblico, and Basilica di San Marino.
