Castellaro is a small locality within the castello of Città di San Marino. The name suggests the existence of former fortifications or fortified sites that were significant for the defense of the Republic. Geographically, Castellaro is located in a hilly landscape west of the main peak of Mount Titano. The settlement is characterized by a quiet residential atmosphere, with buildings closely hugging the rock topography. Historically, this area was part of the outer defense ring that ensured communication with neighboring castles like San Leo.
