Cà Olivo is a small locality situated within the castello of Borgo Maggiore in San Marino. The village is located in a hilly region famous for its olive groves, from which the settlement derives its name. Historically, this area was part of the agricultural lands that ensured the food supply for the fortified city atop Mount Titano. The settlement structure today consists mainly of detached houses built along the winding roads of the San Marinese hills. Geographically, Cà Olivo occupies a strategic position overlooking the Marecchia Valley, which was significant in the past for monitoring trade routes. Despite modern development, the place has largely preserved its rural character. Access to major transport links provides quick connectivity to both the administrative center of Borgo Maggiore and the border with Italy.
