San Marino History. Discovery, Foundation of the nation, Culture and Cultural Policies. Tourism. The territory of the Republic of San Marino was frequented and inhabited since remote times, as testified to by the discovery of several archaeological remains dating back from the Eneolithic Age third millennium onwards. Important traces of human presence have been found for the Bronze and Iron Ages, as well as for the Villanovan, Roman and Goths' Ages. With regard to the latter, the remains found include some furnishings and objects of very refined jewellery dating back to the 5th and 6th centuries. On Mount Titano, where the San Marino community first settled, the remains of an important cultural site have also been found. In this place, which started to be frequented in the 5th century., a divinity was worshipped, which was thought to have thaumaturgic powers. The community, from which the State of San Marino subsequently originated, consolidated during the late Middle Ages, probably around a monastery, which had been built on Mount Titano already in the 6th century
