San Marino, Sovereign microstate in Europe, Italy.
San Marino stands on Monte Titano at 739 meters above sea level, with three medieval towers marking the peaks of this mountain range.
The Republic of San Marino traces its foundation to September 3, 301, when Saint Marinus established a Christian community on Monte Titano.
The changing of the guard ceremony occurs at the Palazzo Pubblico every hour, with guards wearing green and white uniforms representing national colors.
The national currency follows the euro standard through a monetary agreement with the European Union, while banking services operate under specific Sammarinese regulations.
The heads of state consist of two Captains Regent who serve exactly six months, following a tradition maintained since the 13th century.

This collection encompasses the world's smallest countries and territories by land area, measured including lakes and rivers within their borders. The list features both independent sovereign states and dependent territories with varying political statuses. From Vatican City at 0.4 square kilometers to Monaco and San Marino in Europe, and island nations in the Caribbean such as Saint Kitts and Nevis, this selection demonstrates the geographic diversity of compact territories. The European microstates offer medieval fortifications, princely palaces, and modern financial districts within limited spaces. Pacific atolls like Nauru and Tuvalu present coral formations and tropical coastlines, while Caribbean islands combine volcanic mountains, rainforests, and colonial architecture. Despite their limited size, these countries and territories maintain their own governmental systems, cultures, and economic models ranging from tourism and financial services to fishing and agriculture.
