Torriana, a historic town in the northeast of San Marino, situated in the southern foothills of the Apennine Mountains, near the Italian province of Rimini, is famous for its well-preserved medieval architecture and its rich cultural atmosphere. The town's most famous landmark is the castle of Tolaccia, a 12th-century fortification that still retains its soaring towers and stone ramparts on the top of a hill overlooking the Adriatic Sea and the surrounding idyllic countryside. The winding stone streets are lined with medieval houses, craft stores and traditional restaurants, and the annual "Medieval Festival" in the summer takes visitors back to the Renaissance. As one of the "Nine Castles" of San Marino, Tolaccia is a small area, but it perfectly combines natural beauty and human history, making it an ideal destination for exploring San Marino traditions and experiencing the Italian countryside.
Sevan is a small town in the Armenian province of Gegharkunik, located in the eastern part of the country on the shores of Lake Sevan, about 66 kilometers from the capital city of Yerevan.

Lake Sevan is surrounded by magnificent landscapes and crystal clear waters, making it an important tourist and recreational destination in Armenia. The town boasts historical monuments such as the Sevan Monastery, a 9th-century monastery situated on a peninsula overlooking the lake, which attracts many tourists and pilgrims. The local economy is based on fishing, tourism and agriculture, and the climate is cool enough for summer vacations.
With a population of around 20,000, the town of Sevan retains its traditional Armenian culture, while the infrastructure is constantly being improved to provide accommodation and catering services. It is an ideal starting point for exploring the nature and history of the Caucasus and is easily accessible for short trips.
