Place: Republic of San Marino
Weather: Partly cloudy skies, 35/51F.
Route: From Urbino 45 km NNW on Strada Provenciale 138.
Significance: San Marino is Italy's only remaining city-state. It is also one of the smallest countries in the world and the longest lasting republics. It is on Mount Titano, which is largely responsible for it lasting so long as a city-state. There are dramatic cliffs topped with defensive walls and fortifications.
