The Basilica di San Marino (''Marino'' translates from Latin to "man of the sea")〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=San Marino, 3 settembre, m. 301 )〕 is a Catholic church located in the Republic of San Marino. While the country has a distinct domination of historic religious buildings of Christian faith, the basilica is the main church of the City of San Marino. It is situated on the Piazza Domus Plebis in the northeastern edge of the city, adjacent to the Church of St. Peter. It is dedicated to Saint Marinus, the founder and patron of the Republic. The present church was built in 1836 in place of an earlier one that dated to 7th century. It is built in the Neoclassical style, with a porch of eight Corinthian columns. Relics of St. Marino are enshrined in the basilica.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Religious itineraries )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Historical centre, San Marino )〕 ==History== An earlier church was erected on the spot in the 4th century which was dedicated to the same patron. The first document attesting the existence of the church dates to 530 in the ''La Vita di San Severino'' by Eugippius. A later document, the ''Placito Feretrano'', dates from 885. The first document that directly relates to the "Pieve di San Marino" is dated 31 July 1113,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Religious )〕 with donations from the faithful public.〔 At the beginning of the 1800s, the church was in critical condition. In 1807, it was razed and a project for the construction of the new church was handed to the Bolognese Achille Serra. On 24 July 1825, the council decided to build a new church in the place where the old church had stood.〔 Construction began on 28 July 1826 and was completed in 1838. On 5 February 1838, the church was solemnly inaugurated in the presence of the Bishop of Montefeltro, Crispino Agostinucci and the Captain's-Regent. On 21 July 1926, it was elevated to the rank of Basilica by Pius XI. The construction cost was 40,150 scudi and 76 baiocchi. On 29 August 1982, the basilica was visited by John Paul II〔 who blessed the church and the relics related to the deacon of San Marino. The Basilica of San Marino is depicted on the ten cent editions of the Sammarinese euro coins. Over the course of centuries, the basilica has witnessed civil turmoil. Because of this, in 1992, the Vatican made several decrees. These included that the basilica, as the mother-church of all churches within the Republic, is made exempt from the jurisdiction of the parish of the city of San Marino. The basilica is entrusted to the care of a priest who holds the title of Rector, and the Rector is appointed and removed in accordance with canon law.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Basilica di San Marino」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
