Day 1

Andorran civic history

Andorra la Vella

  1. 1

    Casa de la Vall

    Casa de la Vall gives Andorra’s political history a physical setting rather than reducing it to constitutional dates. The compact stone house served the General Council for centuries, so domestic rooms, ceremonial spaces and institutional functions sit unusually close together. Its scale also helps explain how government developed in a small Pyrenean community. A visit pairs naturally with the old streets around Sant Esteve and offers a useful foundation before exploring parish churches and rural houses elsewhere in the country.

Day 2

Areny-Plandolit household

Ordino

  1. 1

    Casa d’Areny-Plandolit

    Casa d’Areny-Plandolit broadens Andorran history beyond churches and political institutions. Rooms, furnishings and family collections show how a wealthy household operated within a mountain society, while the family’s involvement in iron production connects domestic life to a major historic economic activity. The building also demonstrates how an older house was adapted and expanded over generations. Visiting it alongside Casa Rull creates a useful social comparison between elite and substantial rural domestic worlds in different parts of the country.

Day 3

Casa Rull and rural society

La Massana

  1. 1

    Casa Rull Museum

    Casa Rull helps explain the domestic economy that supported Andorran communities before modern urban growth. The house preserves the scale and organisation of a substantial rural household, with spaces tied to family life, storage and agricultural work. Its value increases when compared with Casa d’Areny-Plandolit in Ordino: the two houses represent different social positions while sharing the constraints of a mountain economy. Sispony’s village setting also keeps the museum connected to the surrounding landscape rather than presenting rural life as an abstract indoor theme.
