The Guards

The Corps of the Guards is the honor guard of the Principality of Seborga.
The Guards, whose main duties concern representation and ceremonial, protect the figure of the Princess and her family, assisting her on official occasions; in particular circumstances they guard national borders. Within the Corps of the Guards there is also a regiment on horseback.
Every first Sunday of the month, around noon, the Guards are in charge of firing a shot from our cannon located at the Belvedere in the Martiri Patrioti Square, a ceremony that takes place in the presence of some Crown Councilors and – when possible, according to her agenda – by HSH the Princess.
The Corps depends on the Princess via the Crown Councilor for Defense and the Guards report to a Commander.
