【San Marino】

《Its territory is the smallest among the countries which join in the UN》

Its territory is as small as Setagaya ward in Tokyo prefecture.Its capital is on the top of the Mt.ティタノ.🌋

Though its scale is small,San Marino has a long and distinguished history as the oldest republic,for the Pope ローマ法王 approved of the country in 1631.🎊

The founding of the country dates back to the 4th century.A stonecutter named Marino who lived in an island belonged to the ancient Roman Empire crossed over the Adriatic Sea and went to the Italian peninsula for a construction of a port.😃

He was persecuted 迫害 because of a Christian,and ran away to the Mt.ティタノ.After that others who longed for Marino also came to the Mt.ティタノ.😃

As a result,they began to live together.It's said it's an San Marino's origin.Other city states invaded San Marino,but its castle wall was built on the top of the mountain.🌋

Therefore,capturing San Marino was hard,so the country has maintained its independence so far.🎉
