CASA RULL MUSEUM

This house-museum, whose main body dates back to 1623, bears witness to the way of life in Andorra from the end of the ^19th century to the beginning of the ^20th century. It is undoubtedly the most famous house in the parish of La Massana. At that time, Andorran rural society lived essentially from agriculture and livestock in a natural environment marked by the steep relief, the rigorous climate and the precariousness of communications. At the heart of this life, the house, as a social system, was at the center of the village. The house of the Perichs, a very influential family - one of the richest - in the parish of La Massana, was remodeled until the beginning of the ^20th century according to the needs. The last tenant left in 1920. The visit follows the rhythm of a story on several floors. The first floor includes the cellars and the wine cellars, the second floor houses the kitchen, the dining room, the kneading trough and the vegetable garden; the second floor presents the cycles of life through different rooms (marriage, birth of the heir, childhood, old age and death), the last floor is reserved for the attic where a photographic film is shown that ends the visit. You can choose to visit Casa Rull using an audioguide (in French) or by hiring the services of a guide who will comment on the visit, which lasts about an hour, in French. For the second option, it is essential to make a reservation in advance. There is also a small souvenir store on site.
