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.
The General Council meets here for legislative sessions, while the historic Casa de la Vall continues to host traditional ceremonial functions tied to Andorra's dual co-prince system.
The building is centrally located in Andorra la Vella and easily reached on foot, especially for visitors exploring the city center. The surrounding area provides good walking routes and accessibility to view the government district.
Seven keys from different parishes of Andorra are traditionally used to grant access to certain ceremonial areas of the building. This practice preserves a historical connection to how all communities participate in the nation's decision-making structure.
