I took a recent short trip to Andorra and other than touring the old City Center in Andorra La Vella---this was my favorite spot. I took a public bus--Line 1 from Andorra la Vella to St. Julia de Loria and the Museum is a few blocks walk away from the bus stop. The staff I dealt with spoke well. The Museum is clean and well lighted with spotless rest rooms. The tour is basically three rooms that are self guided with a staff person introducing each of the three rooms. It took about thirty five minutes to get through. There is also another gallery that has changing exhibits included in the entrance price of 7 Euros. I loved the museum and bought some cigars on the way out! You can also buy coffee, beverages and snacks from vending machines in their small cafe.

Farga Rossell

The Rossell Forge was built between 1842 and 1846 and, except fora short period of inactivity, remained open until 1876. This makes it one of the last active forges in Andorra and a living example of the country's pre-industrial heritage.The Rossell Forge has now become an Interpretation Centre aboutiron. Using audiovisuals and a drop hammer demonstration, it explains the process of transforming iron ore into ingots and their subsequent sale to Catalan markets. The tools used to work with this material arealso on show: bellows, furnace, etc.
