San Marino

San Marino Though small, San Marino claims to be the oldest republic in history. Legend has it that a stone-cutter, named Marinus, left his native island in Dalmatia and established a small community to escape from the persecution of Emperor Diocletian, and San Marino was born. This little country will enchant you with its smooth valleys and exuberant beauty.
