A beautiful, bright basilica attracts the attention of everyone who happens to be near Piazzale Plebis Domus.
They say that in the 19th century, many residents of San Marino were not happy that the old temple was destroyed in order to build a new one, although it was no longer subject to restoration. But the new neoclassical appearance of the basilica is very spectacular. The building is decorated with numerous bas-reliefs, and above the entrance you can see the coat of arms of the republic.
The interior of the temple is no less magnificent - there are paintings and sculptures by Italian masters. Immediately attracts attention, located on the central altar of the church, the marble sculpture of St. Marina. His relics lie under the altar itself, and the skull, placed in a silver box, lies on a separate marble pedestal.
The most significant holidays of the country are held in the basilica: for example, the election of captains-regents, the Day of the military forces of the republic (March 25), the Day of the founder and patron of the republic (September 3), the Day of St. Agatha, patroness of the republic (February 5) and all state and religious holidays. In addition, the basilica is often used as a venue for concerts such as the Autumn Music Festival.
The Basilica is open for visits on weekdays until 17.00 (in summer until 18.00). On holidays - until 11.00. Worship services are held on weekends at 11:00. Free admission.
