The Republic of San Marino is a landlocked country located in the northeast of the Italian Peninsula, which is known as "the living fossil in the country". With a land area of only 61 square kilometers and a population of less than 30,000, it has a long history of nearly 2,000 years and is one of the oldest republics in the world. The capital city of San Marino, built on the slopes of Mount Titano, with its medieval-style stone streets, ancient castles and watchtowers, was inscribed on the World Cultural Heritage List in 1996, together with the Church of St. Francis of Assisi and Mount Monte Tetaro. The economy is based on tourism, stamp distribution and banking, attracting millions of tourists every year to experience the unique "country within a country" atmosphere and the advantages of duty-free shopping. Despite its small size, San Marino is a unique tourist destination in Europe with its history of independence and its peaceful atmosphere.
