San Marino Historic Centre and Mount Titano
The Historic Centre of San Marino and Mount Titano covers an area of 55 hectares and includes Mount Titano and the historic centre of the city, dating back to the founding of the Republic as a city-state in the 13th century. San Marino is listed as a testimony to the continuity of a free republic since the Middle Ages. The listed city centre includes defensive towers, walls, gates and fortresses, as well as the 19th-century neoclassical cathedral, 14th- and 16th-century monasteries, the 19th-century Palazzo Comunale and the 18th-century Teatro Titano. The property represents a historic centre that is still inhabited and has preserved all its institutional functions. Due to its location on top of Mount Titano, it has not been affected by the urban transformations that have taken place from the advent of the industrial age to the present day.
