Information & Brief History
The third smallest state in Europe
(after the Holy See and Monaco) also claims to be the world's oldest republic.
According to tradition, it was founded by a Christian stonemason named
Marino in 301 A.D. San Marino's foreign policy is aligned with that of
Italy. Social and political trends in the republic also track closely with
those of its larger neighbor.
