Domagnano (Romagnol: Munt Dmagnên) is one of the nine castelli of San Marino. It has 3,565 inhabitants (May 2018)[1] in an area of 6.62 km2.

It borders the San Marino municipalities Faetano, Borgo Maggiore, Serravalle and the Italian municipality Coriano.

Domagnano contains five curazie: Cà Giannino, Fiorina, Piandivello, Spaccio Giannoni, and Torraccia.[2][3]

Domagnano, previously known as Montelupo (mountain of wolves) after its coat of arms, was already colonised by Roman times and was first mentioned in c. 1300. The so-called Domagnano Treasure was found in the castle here in the late nineteenth century. It is now split between a number of museums, but the largest portions of the treasure are kept at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg and the British Museum.[4]
