In the museum explains how perfume is made and this is all that is used in the production of perfume. The museum has a large collection of perfume bottles. It also allows you to use an audio guide, which helps you through the different departments of the museum: a trip along aromas and the scented post to the pleasure of luxury and the display case with perfumes.

Santa Coloma Church

Església_de_Santa_Coloma

Església de Sant Esteve, opposite to the Town Hall, is a beautiful church from the 11th century in Andorra la Vella but the Santa Coloma is probably the oldest building of the city. This church dates back to the 9th century and is definitely a nice building to admire.

Pont de la Margineda

Another interesting sight is the Pont de la Margineda which is laid out to cross the Valira. It is a Romanesque stone bridge. This bridge has a length of 33 meters and a height of 9.20 meters which makes it the largest bridge of Andorra. Next to the bridge is a work of art of the Valencian artist Andreu Alfaro in commemoration of the first International Congress of the Catalan language (1906).

Minas de Llorts

Today you can still visit the mines. During a tour of the underground passages a guide tells you all about the iron mining and processing iron into steel.
