San Marino Sightseeing

• Storm San Marino's three fortresses; 11th-century Guaita, Montale and Cesta - a 13th-century edifice emerging from the ancient rock at the very highest point of Mount Titano.

• Visit the stocky, neo-gothic Government Palace and don't miss the changing of the guard at 0830 or 1830. For some background, head to the State Museum, with its collection of archaeological finds and works of art.

• Take in sacred art at the St Francis' Museum, housed in a medieval cloister, and secular culture at the Contemporary and Modern Art Gallery, a modest but diverting collection of painting, photography and sculpture.

• Experience the trials of San Marino's many emigrants at the Museum of Emigration (website: www.museoemigrante.sm), an informative stroll through the history of moving populations.

• See San Marino's fine churches, including the Basilica of St Marino that holds a reliquary of Marinus himself, and the 16th-century Church of the Cappucin Friars.

• See Contact Addresses for further tourist information.
