Santa Coloma, Andorra la Vella
Santa Coloma is one of the oldest and most characterful districts of the parish of Andorra la Vella. Just minutes from the capital's center, it offers a quieter, family-friendly atmosphere full of history. It's the perfect place for a relaxed walk, to discover Romanesque heritage, and to enjoy a family day surrounded by nature and culture.
A church with a thousand-year-old soul
The village’s great treasure is the Santa Coloma Church, a gem of Andorran pre-Romanesque architecture. Built between the 8th and 9th centuries, it stands out for its unique circular bell tower, the only one of its kind in the country. Inside, it once held original frescoes, now viewable through Columba’s videomapping in an annex museum that brings this historical space to life.
Everyday life and natural surroundings
Santa Coloma is a lively neighborhood with schools, shops, and services, while still preserving the charm of a village. Surrounded by mountains, it offers gentle hiking trails like the Rocafort path. Families often enjoy the children’s parks or stroll peacefully along the riverside paths.
A dream playground
Children will love Santa Coloma’s spectacular playground with exciting slides, creative play zones, and safe, fun environments. It’s a favorite spot for families, especially on weekends when laughter fills the air and the area bursts with life.
Santa Coloma is far more than a district of Andorra la Vella: it’s a place with its own soul, where past and present harmoniously coexist, and every corner invites visitors to explore slowly and joyfully.
