Palazzo
Pubblico
is
a
lovely
building.
It
is
located
in
the
small
but
beautiful
Piazza
della
Liberta
square.
The
Palazzo
Pubblico
(
Public
Palace
)
building
of
San
Marino,
also
known
as
Palazzo
del
Governo,
is
the
place
where
the
official
ceremonies
of
the
Republic
of
San
Marino
are
held
and
is
the
seat
of
the
main
institutional
and
administrative
bodies,
such
as
the
Captains
Regent,
the
Great
and
General
Council,
the
Council
of
the
XII
and
the
Congress
of
State.
The
rich
history
of
this
building
is
extremely
interesting.
The
building
stands
where
once
stood
the
Domus
Magna
Comunis,
that
is
the
old
palace,
dated
around
the
end
of
the
fourteenth
century
(1380-1392).
The
new
public
building
was
built
between
1884
and
1894
to
a
design
by
the
Roman
architect
Francesco
Azzurri,
who
designed
it
in
the
severe
and
simple
style
of
the
municipal
buildings
of
the
13th
and
14th
centuries.
The
facade
of
the
public
building
is
supported
by
three
pointed
arches
and
is
characterized
by
the
presence
of
three
large
openings
and
the
clock
tower.
On
the
right
of
the
façade
is
a
bronze
statue
of
the
founder
of
the
Republic,
the
Saint
Marino,
built
in
1894
by
the
sculptor
Giulio
Tadolini.
On
the
clock
tower
is
possible
to
see
a
mosaic
triptych
depicting
the
saints
Leo,
Agata
and
Marino.
The
interior
of
the
Palazzo
Publico
is
extremely
richly
decorated
with
paintings,
statues,
frescoes
from
the
Atri,
hall
of
the
Council
of
the
XII
until
hall
of
the
Great
and
General
Council.
