Fiorentino
Fiorentino is one of the nine municipalities or 'castelli' of the Republic of San Marino, located in the southern part of the country. Historically known as the 'Land of Castles,' it was a strategic border site home to the Pennarossa castle, an important fortification belonging to the Malatesta family of Rimini before it was annexed by San Marino in 1463. Today, only ruins of the castle remain atop the hill, but the area is an important archaeological site where Roman-era remains and coins have been discovered. The municipality is characterized by a hilly, rural atmosphere, offering a quiet contrast to the busy streets of the capital. A key landmark is the Church of Saint Bartholomew the Apostle, rebuilt in the mid-20th century in a neoclassical style. Fiorentino provides a peaceful perspective on Sammarinese life, great for travelers interested in history and hiking away from the main tourist crowds of Mount Titano.
