Crowds of people lined up in front of the parliament building to witness the ritual of the changing of the guard. Holding cameras, cameras and mobile phones in their hands, everyone was able to capture the solemn ceremony. In particular, at least 1,000 tourists were present at the square today.

At the same time, the streets of the capital were empty. Almost all the locals, as usual, have already left the city to have a little rest on the islands or in the countryside and celebrate the “summer Easter”.
