== History == The territory of San Marino consisted only of Mount Titano until 1463. The nation became part of an alliance against Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta, the Lord of Rimini, who was defeated. The Pope Pius II gifted the towns of Fiorentino, Montegiardino, and Serravalle to San Marino as a reward for being part of the alliance. Later, Faetano voluntarily joined the country, and the boundaries have remained the same ever since. Once the war was over, the people of San Marino razed the castle of Fiorentino to prevent it from falling into enemy hands in the future, and the castle remains in ruins atop Mount Seghizo. Apart from the main castle, there were other towers and castles and region, because of which Fiorentino is also called the "Land of Castles". The Tower of Torricella was located on Monte San Cristoforo and was demolished in 1465 while the Pennarossa Castle was located on Mount Moganzio, of which remain the foundations and cisterns remain. The coat of arms of Fiorentino consists of three red roses on a yellow shield.
