It is located high in the east Pyrenees, between {{wipe|France}} and {{wipe|Spain}}. It is also the name of the parish that surrounds the capital.

{{As of|2015}}, the city has a population of 22,886, and the urban area, which includes Escaldes-Engordany plus satellite villages, has over 40,000 inhabitants.

The principal industry is tourism, although the country also earns foreign income from being a [[Finance:Tax haven|tax haven]]. [[Engineering:Furniture|Furniture]] and brandies are local products. Being at an elevation of {{cvt|1023|m}}, it is the highest capital city in [[Earth:Europe|Europe]] and a popular ski resort.

== Name ==
''Andorra la Vella'' means "Andorra the Town", to distinguish it from the Principality of Andorra as a whole.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.enciclopedia.cat/EC-GEC-0003871.xml|title=Andorra la Vella {{!}} enciclopèdia.cat|website=www.enciclopedia.cat|language=ca|access-date=2018-09-23|quote="El sobrenom ''la Vella'', és a dir, ''la vila'', li fou afegit posteriorment per tal de distingir la vila del conjunt del territori homònim i potser també per a subratllar-ne la capitalitat" English: "The nickname ''La Vella'', that is, ''the town'', was later added to distinguish the town from the whole of the territory [of Andorra] and perhaps also to emphasize its role as the capital.}}</ref> Although in Catalan the word ''vella'' (like French ''vieille'') is derived from the Latin word ''vetula'' which means "old", the ''Vella'' here (like French ''ville'' and Catalan ''vila'') is derived from the Latin word ''villa'' and means "town".<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://archive.org/details/andorra0000carr|url-access=registration|title=Andorra|last=Carrick|first=Noel|date=1988|publisher=Chelsea House Publishers|isbn=9780791000991|language=en|quote=The word ''vella'' has been translated into both English and Spanish as meaning 'old'. In fact, ''vella'' is a corruption of the Latin word ''villa'', meaning 'city'. Thus ''Andorra la Vella'' merely means 'the city of Andorra'}}</ref>

==History==
[[File:San Andreu.jpg|thumb|left|Sant Andreu Church]]
The site of Andorra la Vella has been settled since prior to the Christian era—notably by the Andosin tribe from the late [[History:Neolithic|Neolithic]]. The state is one of the ''Marca Hispanica'' created and protected by Charlemagne in the eighth century as a buffer from the Moorish settlers in the [[Place:Iberian Peninsula|Iberian Peninsula]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.andorramania.com/histoire_gb.htm |title=History of the Principality of Andorra |publisher=Andorramania.com |date=1997-12-11 |access-date=2010-06-27}}</ref>

The settlement of Andorra la Vella has been the principal city of Andorra since 1278 when the French and the Episcopal co-princes agreed to joint suzerainty. Andorra la Vella's old town—the ''Barri Antic''—includes streets and buildings dating from this time. Its most notable building is the ''Casa de la Vall''—constructed in the early sixteenth century—which has been the state's parliamentary house since 1702. Andorra la Vella was, during this period, the capital of a largely isolated and feudal state, which retained its independence due to this principle of co-sovereignty.

Well into the twentieth century, the area around Andorra la Vella remained largely forgotten. After political turmoil in the 1930s and an attempted coup by Boris Skossyreff, an informal democracy developed.

In 1993, the country's first constitution formalised this parliamentary [[Social:Democracy|democracy]] with executive, legislative, and judicial branches located in Andorra la Vella.

During this period, Andorra also developed as a [[Finance:Tax haven|tax haven]], resulting in the construction of modern banking offices in Andorra La Vella. The city also developed its skiing facilities, to the extent that Andorra la Vella was Andorra's applicant city for the XXI Olympic Winter Games, the 2010 Winter Olympics. However, Andorra la Vella was not selected by the IOC as a candidate city, following the evaluation report of an IOC commission. It also hosted both the 1991 and 2005 Games of the Small States of Europe.

==Geography==
Andorra la Vella is located in the south west of Andorra, at {{coord|42|30|N|1|30|E|}},<ref>{{cite web|url=http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/cntry_files.html |title=NGA: Country Files |publisher=Earth-info.nga.mil |access-date=2010-06-27 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120504031911/http://earth-info.nga.mil/gns/html/cntry_files.html |archive-date=2012-05-04 }}</ref> at the confluence of two mountain streams, the Valira del Nord (Northern Valira) and the Valira de l'Orient (Eastern Valira), which join to form the Gran Valira. It adjoins the urban area of Escaldes-Engordany. The city is at {{convert|1,023|m|ft}} above sea level.

===Climate===
Andorra la Vella has an [[Earth:Oceanic climate|oceanic climate]] ([[Earth:Köppen climate classification|Köppen climate classification]]: '''Cfb'''), with warm days and cool nights in summer, and chilly to cold, snowy winters. The average annual precipitation is {{convert|812.3|mm|0|abbr=on}}. Temperatures in the city are lowered by the altitude (1,075 metres) compared with lowland areas.
