Casa de la Vall

Museums

It is a stately building from the end of the 16th century. From 1702 it became the seat of one of the oldest and most continuous parliaments in Europe, the General Council, created in 1419. It is open to the public with a service of guided tours in several languages. A historical building: At the entrance door, a shield bears the date of 1580, the year of its construction on a rock that dominated the entire valley of the Valira river. Currently, the structure is the same as that of the 16th century, but the building has undergone some modifications, the most important being that of 1962. The gardens, a walk through time: In front of the building, where the cliff of the Roc del Valle used to be, a square built in the project of the new parliamentary building, in 2011, opens, which allows a clear view of the old house and offers a splendid view over the valleys. On the façade, the sides and the back of the building there are dates and sculptures that commemorate significant moments in Andorra.
