San Marino in a Nutshell
Lorenzo Castagnone
San Marino is known to be the oldest sovereign state in the world and is a beautifully scenic independent nation in the heart of Italy. It is the third smallest country in Europe, taking after Monaco and the Vatican City. San Marino offers endlessly stretched out, lavish green forests and beautifully built fortress towers scattered among its modest, yet mountainous, lands. Visits to the quaint and charismatic medieval markets and the towns’ various, quirky museums and exhibitions are sure to win you over with its charm.
