The Palazzo Pubblico (‘Public Palace’ in English) is both the town hall of the city of San Marino as well as the official Government Building of the Republic of San Marino. The building, where official State ceremonies take place, is the seat of the Republic's main institutional and administrative bodies: the Captains Regent, the Grand and General Council, the Council of XII, and the Congress of State.

The main section of the building is topped by battlements over a series of corbels. The clock tower above also features such an arrangement with battlements and corbels. The overall design is similar to the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, but on a much smaller scale.

Located on the site of an ancient building called the Domus Magna Comunis, the current building was designed by the Roman architect Francesco Azzurri and was built between 1884 and 1894. Following a century of minimal alteration, concerns over the structure's safety and functionality warranted a complex restoration project. The intervention was completed by the internationally renowned architect Gae Aulenti and an inauguration ceremony for the newly restored building was held on September 30, 1996.

The City of San Marino (città di San Marino in Italian), also known simply as San Marino and locally as Città, is the capital city of the Republic of San Marino and one of its nine castelli. It has a population of roughly 4,100. The scenic community sits atop the western slopes of San Marino's highest point, Monte Titano.

The city is claimed to have been founded by Saint Marinus and several Christian refugees fleeing from Roman persecution in the year 301. The urban heart of the city was protected by three towers built in the 11th, 13th, and 14th centuries. It held a reputation for being impenetrable, which to a great extent discouraged attacks.

With the population of the city increasing, the territory of the country was extended by a few square kilometers. Since the Sammarinese policy was not to invade or to use war to obtain new territories, expansion of the city, and thereby the microstate, took place by means of purchases and treaties. Today San Marino has a total of nine castelli.

The San Marino Historic Centre and Mount Titano were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2008.
