9 Peculiar features of the world’s oldest Republic

The historical peculiarity of San Marino is revealed in its ancient institutions, unique in the world.

The Council of Regency is the highest institutional ranking body: it is composed by the two Regents – Capitani Reggenti, who act collectively, whose role corresponds to that of the Head of State. The first Regents were appointed in 1243.

They remain in office for six months and every year, on 1st April and 1st October, a suggestive investiture ceremony is celebrated. Palazzo Pubblico and Piazza della Libertà: the political heart of the city

The real treasure of “Pianello” (as the Liberty Square is called by the inhabitants) is the Council Hall, located inside the Public Palace where, since 1848, the sixty parliamentarians of the Council have used to meet.
