About Barri Antic and Sant Esteve
The Barri Antic, the old quarter of Andorra la Vella, a few stone lanes with family shops around the Romanesque church of Sant Esteve, the town's heart before modern growth.
Narrow lanes such as Carrer Major, Carrer de la Vall and Carrer del Pui keep the old stone houses of the town, some with shops trading for more than 60 years. The church of Sant Esteve has a Romanesque apse of the 12th century with blind arches.
Much of the church was rebuilt in the 20th century, and its medieval wall paintings are now in museums in Barcelona, Madrid and Andorra. The lanes are open at all times; the church is usually open by day and is free.
