San Marino

San Marino combines medieval continuity with compact modern civic life in a way that reflects its position within Italy’s Apennine foothills. Perched on Monte Titano, the republic is entirely enclosed by Italy yet retains its own institutions and political traditions. Its Historic Centre and Mount Titano form a UNESCO World Heritage site, where fortified walls, steep lanes and the Three Towers trace the long story of this independent state. Every six months, two Captains Regent are elected as joint heads of state, continuing a distinctive civic custom.
