Casa de la Vall: A Heritage Landmark

Casa de la Vall is not just a building; it's a historical narrative of Andorra's governance.

Founded in 1419 as the Land Council, it became the General Council of the Valleys of Andorra. Constructed in 1580 by the Busquets family, the structure reflects Catalan noble house architecture with its quadrangular layout and three galleries. Notable features include defensive elements such as an embrasure tower and machicolations; the current and previous coats of arms of Andorra are displayed on the main facade.
