Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

This is a simple church built in the neoclassical style. It is dedicated to St. Marinus, the founder of the Republic of San Marino. His relics are enshrined under the main altar. It is also the Co-Cathedral of the Diocese of San Marino-Montefeltro. Entrance is free, but there is nothing truly spectacular here if you will like to compare to the basilicas across Italy. Worth attention to will be the relics of the Saint and the Throne of the Captains-Regent.

The interior of this imposing religious site is beautiful with a classical style décor and chilling atmosphere. Amazing statues and paintings are aplenty. Free to enter. Well worth the effort to get there.

Arriving at the small square before reaching the first tower, we were immediately captivated by the beautiful Basilica of St. Marino. The Basilica of San Marino is the main church of the City of San Marino, belonging to the diocese of San Marino-Montefeltro, is dedicated to the patron saint of the city and the state. It is located in Piazzale Domus Plebis. In the place where today the basilica rises, already in the 4th century there was a church dedicated to San Marino deacon. The interior of the Basilica is simply decorated, but in its simplicity is beautiful. The main altar is decorated with the statue of San Marino deacon by Tadolini, a pupil of Canova. Under the altar are part of the relics of the saint that were found on 3 March 1586. Beautiful Basilika is definitely worth a visit.

The basilica is much simpler than the traditional churches, but is an impressive size and has some beautiful displays.

Working church. Bright and airy compared to many old churches in Italy.
Go to mass. Go to confession. Go and just hangout.
I liked it. I needed it after the museum of torture…

It might not be the nicest or most elaborate basilica in the region, but if you take the trouble to visit San Marino's old town, it's definitely worth taking a look inside. There are staff on hand to answer questions and there is material available for free to explain its historical significance.

More than worthy to see. Jump inside and find how simple and great can be church. Being inside, have a look at the top, how great it's made.

This neoclassical style basilica is a simple design compared to many of the ornate basilicas. It is dedicated to Saint Marinus, the founder and patron of the Republic. Entry is free.

Due to time limit we have and expected heavy rain we just passed by the church from outside. Just by looking at the columns and the simplicity of the architecture design you could tell that their is a lot to be told about the history of this place. After looking at the pictures of how it looked from inside I regret not getting it, but will definitely visit it again next time I visit Italy!

More simple than many Basilicas, but very pretty none the less. It fits very nicely into a walking tour of San Marino.
