The city's old town is characterized by old stone streets and houses. The central ''[[Església de Sant Esteve]]'' (Saint Stephen) church is part of the area that guidebooks often label as a picturesque part of the city.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eslteachersboard.com/cgi-bin/europe-info/index.pl?noframes;read=233 |title=The beautiful Andorra la Vella |publisher=Eslteachersboard.com |access-date=2010-06-27}}</ref> This was built in a [[Romanesque architecture|Romanesque]] style in the eleventh century. As mentioned earlier, the old town also includes the country's historic parliament building. Probably the oldest building in the city is another church, dating from the ninth century, the [[Church of Santa Coloma d'Andorra]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.world66.com/europe/andorra/andorralavella |title=Andorra la vella travel guide |publisher=World66.com |access-date=2010-06-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100305074131/http://www.world66.com/europe/andorra/andorralavella |archive-date=2010-03-05 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
