Andorra la Vella, Capital city in the Pyrenees, Andorra

The city lies at the junction of two mountain streams, the Valira del Nord and Valira de l'Orient, forming the Gran Valira at 1023 meters elevation.

The settlement dates back to the eighth century when Charlemagne established it as part of the Marca Hispanica buffer zone against Moorish expansion.

The Casa de la Vall, constructed in the 16th century, functions as the primary governmental building and represents the architectural heritage of the region.

The city maintains direct bus connections to major airports in Barcelona and Toulouse, facilitating access for international visitors throughout the year.

The General Council meetings in Andorra la Vella operate under the authority of two co-princes: the President of France and the Bishop of Urgell.
