Destination Republic of San Marino

Posted 18 August, 2014 By vitaitaliantou

Destination San Marino San Marino, 11 August – Destination Republic of San Marino. San Marino is one of the world’s smallest and oldest Republics. It was established in 301AD by a stonemason Marinus, a Christian who came to Italy from the Dalmatian coast to escape persecution from Emperor Diocletian.

The country is situated in a unique and beautiful position on Monte Titano 749 meters above sea level and approximately 10 km from Rimini on the east coast of Italy. It is famous for its three medieval towers, Guaita, Cesta and Montale which are the country’s most popular symbols offering breathtaking views of the coast and surrounding countryside.

San Marino is one of the wealthiest countries in Europe flourishing in finance, industries and services and is a popular destination for travellers offering duty free shopping on perfumes, leather goods, watches and many other items.

Vita Italian Tours takes many travellers to this fascinating tiny landlocked Republic on a number of their tours and it is always a favourite destination.
