A narrow street opens like a stage as the guide leads the group through the hilltop lanes of San Marino. Gray stone walls rise, the salt air from the Adriatic mixing with the dry dust of centuries; flags snap above the terraces and the wind dares you to walk to the next lookout. In an hour the city compresses — a political heart, a religious center and a set of viewpoints that read out toward Romagna and the sea.
