Rovere is a history-rich hamlet within the Faetano municipality in the eastern part of the Republic of San Marino. The settlement is perched on a ridge near the border with the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna, offering expansive views of the Rimini plain. The name 'Rovere' refers to the native oak forests that formerly covered the entire area.

Today, Rovere is a place of tranquility, known especially for its traditional cuisine and local wine cellars.
