The Palazzo Pubblico is San Marino's government building, on Piazza della Libertà at the heart of the old town. A stone palace with battlements and a clock tower, with a white Statue of Liberty in front, faces a square that opens on one side to a wide view of the hills. The palace was built from 17 May 1884 to 1894 to a design by the Roman architect Francesco Azzurri, on the site of a 14th-century building. The architect Gae Aulenti restored it, and it reopened on 30 September 1996. It is the seat of the Captains Regent, the Grand and General Council and other state bodies, and holds official ceremonies. It resembles Florence's Palazzo Vecchio on a much smaller scale. You stand in the square and see the stone front with its arched windows, the battlements above the arches and the clock tower. The changing of the guard is sometimes held in front. One edge of the square looks over the hills and the plain. The interior opens to visitors at some times. The palace is in the centre of the old town, 55 m from the basilica and 170 m from Porta San Francesco. The square is open and free; entry to the palace may be on the state museum card or for a small fee.
