Casa Cal Pal

Museums

The house opens its doors as a space for socio-cultural reflection linked to the natural, cultural and landscape heritage of Andorra. Cal Pal, located in La Cortinada, was part of a group of properties attached to the Escoter inn, the object of a donation made in 1435 by Bernat Escoter, vicar of La Massana, and his mother, Raimunda Escotera, in favor of Joan Pal de Ordino. It is one of the most representative constructions of Andorran vernacular architecture and of which several extensions can be documented in the sixteenth century and early nineteenth century when a third body was added to one side of the house when the colomer and the two covered galleries of the southwest facade were built, with which the house acquired its final appearance. On the northwest façade, the boqueros of the roof beams with the representation of human faces stand out.
