San Marino is one of the smallest countries in the world, a republic of about 61 square kilometres surrounded entirely by Italy, and its castelli (the singular is castello) are the units its government and its elections are organised around. They cover the country without a gap, from the plain at Serravalle in the north to the ridges on the southern border, with Monte Titano and the old city on it in the middle.
The nine castelli of today, named the way San Marino names them. The capital is the Castello di San Marino, which holds the old city on the slopes of Monte Titano, and the quiz calls it simply San Marino. Serravalle is the largest, the broad northern castello where the country meets the Italian plain, and Borgo Maggiore lies just below the capital, in the middle of the map. Domagnano and Acquaviva sit to the east and west of that centre, and Faetano, Montegiardino and Fiorentino are the small castelli of the southern edge, with Chiesanuova in the south-west.
The groups are not an official classification. They split the country into the four northern castelli and the five southern ones, a way to learn the map a piece at a time.
San Marino is the castello of the old city, strung along the ridge of Monte Titano and sitting in the middle of the country, with Borgo Maggiore directly below it.
Serravalle is the largest castello, the northern end of the country, where the hills give way to the plain and the road to Rimini.
Montegiardino is the smallest castello, a hilltop village and its land in the south-east, which makes it the one that takes the most care to tap.
Nine, and together they cover the whole of the country, so the game has no territory outside them. They have been the same nine since the 1970s.
Not officially. The two groups here are the northern castelli and the southern ones, and they are only a way to learn the map.
Yes. The city of San Marino is the seat of the Castello di San Marino, which is why the quiz names it the same, and Borgo Maggiore, below it, is a separate castello.
