San Marino, one of the world’s oldest republics, is a landlocked microstate surrounded by Italy. Founded in 301 AD, it has a rich history of independence. Nestled on Mount Titano, San Marino offers stunning views, medieval architecture, and a well-preserved old town, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It’s known for its Three Towers — Guaita, Cesta (pictured on this postcard), and Montale —and its unique political system with two Captains Regent.
