Domagnano sits on the ridge north of Monte Titano, one of the nine castelli, and it is known for the Domagnano Treasure: a hoard of Ostrogothic gold jewellery from around the fifth century found here in 1893, including an eagle brooch that became one of the best known pieces of migration-period metalwork. The hoard was dispersed to museums abroad and none of it is in San Marino.

What you actually see

  • The treasure find - the fifth-century Ostrogothic hoard found here in 1893.
  • The ridge position - the village on the high ground north of Titano.
  • The parish church - the building at the centre of the castello.
  • The views - the outlook over the plain and the mountain.

When to go

April to October is the mild season. The village is quiet year round. Its festa falls in the summer.

Honest expectations

None of the treasure is in San Marino; the pieces are in museums in Germany, the United States and elsewhere. The village itself is small and ordinary. There is little arranged for visitors.

Nearby

Serravalle is northeast, and Borgo Maggiore is southwest.
