The Basilica of Saint Marinus (Italian: Basilica di San Marino) is a Catholic church located in the Republic of San Marino. While the country has a distinct domination of historic religious buildings of Christian faith, the basilica is the main church of the City of San Marino. It is situated on Piazzale Domus Plebis in the northeastern edge of the city, adjacent to the Church of St. Peter. It is dedicated to Saint Marinus, the founder and patron of the Republic.[1]
The church has the status of co-cathedral of the Catholic Diocese of San Marino-Montefeltro.
The present church was built in 1836 in place of an earlier one that dated to 7th century. It is built in the Neoclassical style, with a porch of eight Corinthian columns. Relics of St. Marinus are enshrined in the church.[2][3][4]
