Basilica di San Marino

The basilica features a front porch supported by eight Corinthian columns and contains three naves divided by sixteen interior columns.

Construction began in 1826 after demolishing a 4th-century church, with completion and consecration taking place in 1838 under Bishop Crispino Agostinucci.

The basilica houses the relics of Saint Marinus beneath its altar, including a marble monument containing a silver shrine with the upper part of his skull.

Located on Piazzale Domus Plebis at the northeastern edge of San Marino City, the basilica remains open for religious services and visitor exploration.

The structure appears on San Marino's ten-cent euro coins, representing its significance as both a religious center and national symbol.
