The territory of the Castle of San Marino is dominated by Mount Titano, included since 2008 in the World Heritage List, together with the medieval old town, which contains the historical, museum and architectural heritage that most characterises the uniqueness of the Republic. The Rupe del Titano is an extraordinary ecosystem that can be admired by following the path of the same name, a ring-route of about 4 km that runs from Borgo Maggiore along the upper part of the mountain to the Third Tower. Along the way you will come across the area known as the Santuario della Tanaccia, an archaeological site that confirms the existence of a place of worship frequented from the 5th century BC to the 5th century AD. The Sentiero delle Cascatelle e Mulini di Canepa (Path of the Waterfalls and Mills of Canepa), which reaches the complex of the ancient water mills, is also of great scenic interest.
