Vielha is the capital of the Val d'Aran. It combines the serene air of the mountains with the liveliness that comes with being a leading tourist attraction. Its historic centre boasts beautiful houses, charming craft stores and shops where you can buy the delicacies of the region. To learn about Aranese customs, the best thing to do is to visit the Tor deth Generau Martrinhon, a 17th century palace that has been converted into an interesting ethnological museum. If you visit the church of Sant Miguel you’ll see a 12th century Romanesque Christ and the famous “Cabinet of the Six Keys” where the documents concerning the valley were kept
Vielha is famous not only for its landscapes, but also for its Romanesque routes, its architecture and its history. The Val d’Aran has the highest concentration of churches and sanctuaries, with the church of Sant Miquéu de Vielha, in the historic town centre, standing out, where you’ll also find the Val d’Aran Ethnological Museum and the Wool Museum.
