San Marino
The Only Surviving Italian City-State
One of the world's oldest republics, the Republic of San Marino is an independent enclave encircled by Italy situated on the northeastern side of the Apennine Mountains. The microstate, just over 61 km2 (24 sq mi) with a population of less than 40,0000, is located on the border between the Italian regioni of Emilia Romagna and Marche. Mount Titano and the historic center of the capital, City of San Marino, are UNESCO-listed. - AsNotedIn
