History tells that Marin, a Dalmatian stonemason, took refuge here to escape the persecutions of Diocletian and founded a monastery at the top of Mount Titan. It was around 300, the Republic of San Marino was born. Surviving through time and political reshuffles, San Marino escaped Italian unification.
