Which European capital is home to Casa de la Vall, built in 1580 as a fortified manor house?

Casa de la Vall, built in 1580, is in Andorra la Vella, the capital of Andorra. The stone building stands in the old quarter and is one of the country's best-known historic landmarks.

The house was constructed for the Busquets family and later acquired by the General Council of Andorra in 1702. For centuries, it served as the meeting place of Andorra's parliament, known as the General Council.

Casa de la Vall remained the parliament's principal seat until 2011, when the General Council moved to a modern building nearby. The historic structure is still associated with Andorra's political development and appears on the country's commemorative euro coin designs.

A common mix-up is confusing Andorra la Vella with Andorra itself. Andorra is the country, while Andorra la Vella is its capital and largest urban centre. The capital lies in the Pyrenees between France and Spain.
