Saint Francis: Footsteps on Mount Titano
Spiritual path
A symbolic walk through the natural landscapes of Mount Titano, designed to rediscover and celebrate the beauty of Creation—described as "sacred" by Saint Francis.
This event is part of the Republic of San Marino's celebrations for the 800th anniversary of the death of Saint Francis of Assisi (1226-2026).
The walk is recognized as part of the "Saint Francis’ Ways" cultural routes.
