Borgo Maggiore
'Borgo Maggiore' is one of the 9
communes or "castelli" of
San Marino. It lies at the foot of
Monte Titano and has a population of 5,992 (at the end of
2003), making it the second largest town of San Marino, after
Dogana.
It borders the San Marino municipalities Serravalle,
Domagnano,

The area was previsouly called ''Mercatale'' ("marketplace") and remains today the most important market town in San Marino. A
