New Parliament of Andorra, Modern legislative building in Andorra la Vella, Andorra
The New Parliament of Andorra is a contemporary building with glass facades and modern architectural features located near the city center of Andorra la Vella. It houses meeting chambers, committee rooms, and legislative administrative functions within its open, light-filled interior spaces.
The building opened in 2011 to replace the older legislative chamber in Casa de la Vall, which could no longer accommodate modern parliamentary needs. This move marked Andorra's evolution from a small historic community into a nation with expanded governmental capacity.
Ordinary parliamentary sessions are held in the new building, but the constitutive session and the Sant Tomàs session remain in Casa de la Vall, the former seat. The split keeps older ceremonial practice alive alongside day-to-day legislative work.
The building stands in Andorra la Vella near the government headquarters, a short walk from the city centre. Guided visits inside are not allowed for security and confidentiality reasons, so visitors see the exterior only. Ordinary parliamentary sessions are held here, while traditional sessions such as the constitutive and Sant Tomàs sessions take place at Casa de la Vall.
The 1996 commission that planned this building was set up in the first constitutional legislature, when the General Council still sat in Casa de la Vall and had outgrown the space. The new seat opened in 2011, and the Co-Princes of Andorra inaugurated it in 2014.
