Built around the confluence of the Valira del Nord and Valira d’Orient, Andorra la Vella grew into Andorra’s capital and main commercial centre. The city occupies a narrow Pyrenean valley beside the Gran Valira, with slopes rising directly above its streets and giving the compact centre a distinctly mountain-bound character. In the Barri Antic, Casa de la Vall was built in 1580 as a manor house and served as the seat of Andorra’s parliament from 1702 until 2011. Modern shopping streets and civic institutions stand close to this older quarter, reflecting the capital’s role in a small independent state between France and Spain.
