The Nine Castelli

Local

Nine CASTELLI, which are the Republic’s municipalities and not Italian comuni. CITTÀ DI SAN MARINO on the summit of Monte Titano — the historic centre, a UNESCO site, and now largely a tourist economy. BORGO MAGGIORE below it, with the Thursday market that has been the Republic’s trading place for centuries. SERRAVALLE, the largest and most populous, industrial and commercial, on the plain toward Rimini. Then ACQUAVIVA, CHIESANUOVA, DOMAGNANO, FAETANO, FIORENTINO and MONTEGIARDINO — rural castelli with vines, olives, orchards and smallholdings.
