Andorra la Vella, Capital city of Principality in eastern Pyrenees, Andorra.
Andorra la Vella is the capital city and lies in a valley where two river valleys meet. The city spreads across hillsides with both modern commercial buildings and older residential areas visible throughout.
The city was founded in 1278 when French and Episcopal authorities established joint rule over the territory. This arrangement shaped how the city developed and organized itself for centuries afterward.
The city retains traditional stone architecture that reflects how locals have built their homes across centuries. Walking through the streets, you see how daily life and commerce happen in spaces designed long ago yet still in use today.
The city sits high in the mountains, so prepare for cold weather especially during winter months. Most shops and services are concentrated on main streets where you can walk comfortably on foot.
The Casa de la Vall building, built in the 16th century, has served as the parliament building since 1702 and remains actively in use. The stone structure and its continuous role offer a direct view into centuries of unbroken continuity.
