History

The medieval castle of Busignano was situated in this area, and in 1320, its inhabitants decided to join San Marino. The name Chiesanuova dates back to the 16th century, around the rebuilding of the church of Saint Giovanni Battista in Curte, which no longer exists. The renovation of Salvatore Conti Square was conceived by the Italian poet, writer, and screenwriter Tonino Guerra and completed in 2011.
