Tynwald Hill, St John's, Isle of Man: The Oldest Continuous Parliament in the World This evocative photograph captures the historic open-air parliament of Tynwald Hill in St John's, Isle of Man, circa 1910s. Established over a thousand years ago by Norse Viking settlers, Tynwald Hill is believed to have been built in the 13th century, making it the oldest continuous parliament in the world. The parliament, which is self-governing and a British Crown dependency, is held annually on July 5th, Tynwald Day. The hill's tiered tiers, or 'tier' as it is locally known, provide a unique setting for the meeting place of the legislative body, where new Manx laws are made. The photograph shows a large crowd gathered on the hill, with the flagpole at the center, flying the triskelion flag of the Isle of Man. In the background, the ancient St John's Church stands proudly, a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of the Isle of Man. The parliament's unique open-air setting, with its tiered seating, adds to the sense of tradition and history. The parliament's importance to the people of the Isle of Man is reflected in the large turnout, with attendees dressed in traditional Manx costumes. This photograph provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the history and traditions of the Isle of Man and its ancient parliament, Tynwald Hill.
