| La Rocca Fortress looms over San Marino in early evening |
San Marino is the third smallest country in Europe and an enclave of Italy, just like Vatican City. Some places I
recommend visiting are La Rocca Fortress on top of Monte Titano overlooking San Marino. Just the place for
the perfect shot of San Marino, the capital and the country beyond. Another place worth visiting is the capital
itself. Another would be La Dogana at the border between Italy and San Marino ... I could go on forever!
Please, before my"Abi's View" turns into a whole other page, visit San Marino.
