    The Île de la Cité in Paris, only became the capital in 1163 when Louis VII (the Young) moved the palace there.

    Istanbul as the capital of Turkey? Turkey has only existed since 1923.
    Istanbul was the third capital of the Ottoman Empire and didn't even become the capital until it was captured in 1453.

    At any rate...

    Yes, older than 1163. Always as capital. Never supplanted by a foreign power.

    Even if you allow for Peter the Great's foundation of the Russian Empire in 1721. The capital of the Tsardom which it replaced was St Petersburg.

    3rd September 301.

    San Marino declared its independence from the Roman Empire and even though the empire snapped in half, San Marino was never part of the Roman Empire, Western Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Holy Roman Empire, the Kingdom of Italy, nor the Republics of Italy. It was always up on the mountains, doing its own thing.

    The City of San Marino was for a long time, the only city in San Marino and by default the capital.
