San Marino (Repubblica di San Marino) is a tiny mountain country completely surrounded by Italy, covering just 24 square miles (61 km²) on the edge of the Apennines. Its land is made up of steep limestone slopes, wooded hills and green valleys dotted with small villages, with views stretching to the Adriatic Sea about 6 miles (10 km) away.
Its most famous natural landmark is Monte Titano, a dramatic limestone ridge that is also the highest peak at about 2,425 feet (739 m). Three medieval towers sit along its cliff edge, and on clear days you can see across the Romagna hills all the way to the sparkling Adriatic coast around Rimini.
Foxes, badgers and crested porcupines live in the woods on the lower slopes, and kestrels and peregrine falcons ride the winds along the cliffs. The old town of San Marino and Mount Titano, with their walls, towers and stone streets, are together a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Did You Know? San Marino says it was founded in the year 301 by a stonemason named Marinus, which would make it the oldest republic still in existence anywhere in the world.
