About This Tour
San Marino is the world’s oldest and smallest republic, a remarkable city-state that’s maintained its independence for more than seventeen centuries. On this self-guided walking tour, you’ll hear fascinating stories about this ancient place, from its legendary founding by Saint Marino in 301 CE, to its role as a sanctuary for refugees and rebels throughout history. This hour-long tour begins at the historic Porta San Francesco, the city’s main gate. You’ll wind your way through cobbled streets, past Palazzo Pubblico in Liberty Square (also known as the Government Palace), magnificent churches like St. Quirinu, and residential quarters where locals still live within medieval walls. Along the way, you’ll hear remarkable stories about how this tiny republic survived wars, papal interference, and foreign occupation while never joining any alliance or union.
