Andorra
The
beautiful Andorra la Vella by Jakob Jelling
| Andorra
la Vella is a very attractive destination situated in the east side of
the Pyrenees, next to Spain and France. This city is the capital of what
is known as the Principality of Andorra and counts with a very peculiar
and diverse population since about 45% of its inhabitants are Spanish,
11% are Portuguese, 33% are Andorra, and 7% are French.
The
main language spoken in Andorra la Vella is Catalan, but many of its inhabitants
also speak Castilian, French and Portuguese. It is also interesting to
know that the name of this town, Andorra la Vella, means Andorra the Old,
and this is due to the fact that it is a very ancient spot which was inhabited
since the Christian times.
Andorra
la Vella has a very picturesque and antique old town, which was were the
first settlements of this destination were established. This old town is
called Barri Antic, and is characterized by having stoned streets and antique
houses mostly constructed with stone as well. This spot can be found between
the Placeta del Puial and the Esglesia de Sant Esteve, and is without any
doubt one of the main spots tourists should visit while being in Andorra
la Vella. |

The
Esglesia de Sant Esteve is a very antique construction and one of the main
attractions in Andorra la Vella. This church was built in the 11th century
in Romanesque style, and by visiting, tourists could observe some peculiar
paintings exhibited in its interior. Most of these paintings are even more
antique than the construction itself since they date from the 13th century.
One
of the most interesting constructions visitors can meet in Andorra la Vella
is the Casa de la Vall, or House of the Valley. The Casa de la Vall is
the house of the Andorran parliament, and has received them since the year
1703. Before that, this construction which dates from 1580 was inhabited
by a family. This building is very interesting for a variety of reasons,
among which we can remark its antiquity, its architecture, its interior
design, and its history.
