Arabiaweather.com - Ismail Qasimi - San Marino is a republic that is the fifth smallest country in Europe and is said to be the oldest republic in the world. It was founded by Marinos in 301 AD. In its foreign policy, it follows the country of Italy, which surrounds it, and it follows it in all social and political directions.

San Marino is located at an altitude of 657 meters above sea level, and has a beautiful landscape in the surrounding countryside and the Adriatic coast, and it is located only 10 kilometers from Rimini.

It is said that the founder of San Marino arrived from the island of Rab in Dalmatia (Croatia), and climbed to Mount Titano to establish his small community of Christians persecuted for their faith during the reign of Emperor Diocletian.

The Republic of San Marino consists of a few towns and villages scattered among the foothills of the mountains, and the cities surrounding the capital are industrialized and are not as attractive as the capital known locally as "La Chita".

The official name of the capital is "San Marino" and it is located high on the top of the mountain, surrounded by a wall and three distinct towers overlooking the rest of the country, and the historical center of the city with Mount Titano has become an important site in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2008.

When you are inside the walled city you will find it small enough just to walk around, most streets can only accommodate small cars and bicycles, while a few streets can accommodate larger cars, while other paths are pedestrian only.

San Marino is not a member of the European Union or the European Economic Area, but it nonetheless has open borders with Italy, and foreigners can stay there for more than 10 days after obtaining permission from the government.
