ON THE STREET AND IN MUSEUMS
Tradition, art and folklore to enjoy culture in Andorra.
In Andorra, culture is extremely important to us. In fact, we are the country with the highest density of museums per inhabitant. They are spaces for learning and entertainment, and they are visited by Andorrans and tourists alike.
But Andorra’s culture is not just displayed in museums, it is also evident in people’s everyday lives, through traditional festivals and customs handed down from generation to generation. And summer is the perfect time to discover unique celebrations of our folklore. An example of this is the festival of the Falles and Fallaires, which has been declared Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. It is celebrated on 23 June and, during the event, the young people of Andorra la Vella, Encamp and Sant Julià de Lòria form spectacular fireballs to commemorate Saint John’s Day and the summer solstice.
You can also discover our Romanesque history on the streets or in natural outdoor environments. More than 40 of Andorra’s churches were built in this medieval artistic style. Santa Coloma, Sant Miquel d’Engolasters, Sant Romà de les Bons and Sant Climent de Pal are some of the most remarkable examples of this architecture, which is present in all the parishes of the Principality. In addition, just a stone’s throw from Sant Climent de Pal is the Romanesque Andorra Interpretation Centre, which displays excellentitems tfrom every church in the country.
Although you can still worship at most of these churches, to really understand the spiritual heart of Andorra, you should visit the modern Basilica Shrine of Our Lady of Meritxell, home of the country’s patron saint. Both this building and the most important Romanesque churches are on the routes of the Tourist Bus, a great way to discover Andorra’s culture in comfort.
Museums to suit all tastes
Andorra has a museum or exhibition centre for everyone. One of the latest additions to our cultural catalogue is the new Thyssen Museum: the old Valira hotel in Andorra la Vella now houses important works of art from the Thyssen Bornemisza collection.
But Andorran museums not only focus on art, but also on many other subjects of interest to all kinds of visitors. One example is motor vehicles, which you can find in the Motorcycle Museum and the National Automobile Museum.
On the Rural Habitat route you can learn all about the customs and lifestyles of our ancestors.
Miniatures and comics also have their own museums, which, along with many other centres, you can visit with the PassMuseu card.
