Serravalle counts a surrounding quarter named Galazzano, where the weather station and an industrial area are located.[2] Serravalle has San Marino's northernmost and lowest elevated points. The outer edge of Serravalle is about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) from central Rimini and the Adriatic Sea.
Serravalle recorded a temperature of 40.3 °C (104.5 °F) on 3 and 9 August 2017, which is the highest temperature to have ever been recorded in San Marino.[3]
Serravalle contains eight curazie: Cà Ragni, Cinque Vie, Dogana, Falciano, Lesignano, Ponte Mellini, Rovereta, and Valgiurata.[4][5]
History
editFirst mentioned in a 962 document, in medieval times this town was called Castrum Olnani (later Olnano), the village of the elm trees.[citation needed] Serravalle attached to San Marino in 1463, during the last territorial expansion of the Republic.[citation needed]
In the Rimini earthquake on 16 August 1916, several houses in Serravalle collapsed.[6] Two houses were damaged in the earlier earthquake on 17 May 1916.[7]
