Biography
About
According to hagiographical accounts recorded centuries after his death, Marinus was a Christian saint who in 301 established a chapel and monastery. From that initial community grew the state of San Marino. The details of his life remain thin, filtered through legend and written long after the fact, but the settlement he began on that mountain endured where empires did not.
