The city, which is about 1 mi/2 km west of Escaldes-Engordany, also has some architectural attractions along the narrow cobblestoned alleys of its old quarter, among them the church of Sant Esteve, the Chapel of St. Andreu and the unassuming Casa de la Valls, seat of the Andorran Parliament from the 13th century.
