The City of San Marino (Template:Langx), also known simply as San Marino and locally as Città, is the capital city of the Republic of San Marino and one of its nine {{#invoke:Lang|lang}}. It has a population of 4,118.<ref name=pop/> It is on the western slopes of San Marino's highest point, Monte Titano. It is also the fifth-least-populated national capital in the world.

Geography

History

Template:See also The city is claimed to be founded by Saint Marinus and several Christian refugees fleeing from Roman persecution in the year 301.

The urban heart of the city was protected by three towers: the first, Guaita, built in the 11th century, held a reputation for being impenetrable which to a great extent discouraged attacks.

Tensions with bordering powers urged the necessity to build a second tower, Cesta (13th century). The defensive system was not completed until the construction of a third tower, the Montale (14th century)—the smallest of all and constructed on the last of the summits of Monte Titano.

With the population of the city increasing, the territory of the country was extended by a few square kilometers. Since the Sammarinese policy was not to invade or to use war to obtain new territories, it was by means of purchases and treaties that San Marino obtained the other eight castelli which make up the country.

Politics

The city serves as the headquarters of the Sammarinese Christian Democratic Party, a conservative party that currently serves as one of the main governing parties.

Economy

{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}}

The economy of the city of San Marino has always been closely bound to that of the country. Until recently, the main economic activities of the locality were stone extraction and carving. Today, there is a more varied economy, including tourism, commerce, sale of postage stamps, and a small agricultural industry, although the latter is in decline.

Transport

{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}}The city is known for its long, winding cobblestoned streets, as its altitude and steep approach put it beyond the reach of the San Marino Highway.
