San Marino, Medieval state capital on Mount Titano, San Marino
The City of San Marino extends across Mount Titano at an elevation of 675 meters, featuring stone buildings and narrow streets within defensive walls.
The settlement originated in 301 CE when Saint Marinus established a Christian community on Mount Titano to escape religious persecution from Emperor Diocletian.
The Grand and General Council meets in the Palazzo Pubblico, following governmental traditions established by the Statutes of 1600 for administrative decisions.
Three towers connected by a path along the mountain ridge offer views over the Adriatic Sea and the surrounding Italian territories.
The city maintains a system where two Captains Regent serve as heads of state for six-month terms, rotating power between elected officials.
