San Marino
Small but extraordinary: the third smallest country in Europe and the oldest republic in the world. With its own mint, stamps, a national football team and an army.
Three magnificent fortresses, connected to the citadel by pathways, offer unique views of the countryside of Emilia Romagna. In particular, from the top of its mountain you can see the hills of Marche and Montefeltro, all the way to the Adriatic Sea.

San Leo
Located 30 km from Rimini, it is a unique location: a perfectly preserved Romanesque village and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its fortress, set on an imposing rocky cliff, was turned into a prison in the 1600s, where notable prisoners such as the Count of Cagliostro were held.
From San Leo, the heart of Montefeltro, you can enjoy one of the most spectacular views in the region, with views stretching from the mountains to the sea, across the entire Marecchia Valley.
