I live in San Marino, let me chime in!

The historic center, which is called San Marino Città, is a gorgeous medieval town and it's also part of UNESCO heritage. I definitely recommend a trip there, if you happen to be somewhere near.

When I went to school there, I regularly missed the bus so I had the chance of doing a few walks down to my home. It's a bit steep, since the town is located at the top of mount Titano at 700m of height, but it's truly charming.

When I tried to buy stamps direct from SM back in the 70s, and addressed mail to the SM post office, my local (USA) post office did not believe that there was a country with that name. He went thru their giant post office reference book and hey there it was !

BYW it had a 1500 year anniversary in 1992, yes ? I recall not reading too much about celebrations.

Maybe it was the 1700 anniversary on 2001? The official founding date is 3 September 301 AD
