Auvinyà (also spelled Aubinyà) is a unique settlement in the parish of Sant Julià de Lòria in southern Andorra. The village is situated at an altitude of approximately 1,200 meters and is renowned for its distinctive architectural concept, developed over recent decades as a private project. The buildings were consistently constructed in a neo-medieval style, using exclusively traditional materials such as local stone, wood, and slate to create a harmonious historical appearance. A central element of the settlement is the Church of Sant Ivo, which blends seamlessly into the aesthetic fabric. Historically, the location is linked to the legend of the "Lady of Aubinyà," an emblematic figure of Andorran resistance and identity. The surroundings are characterized by terraced gardens and forested slopes, offering expansive views of the Valira valley. Auvinyà today serves primarily as an exclusive residential area, noted for its tranquility and cultural staging. The settlement is an example of an attempt to merge modern living requirements with the desire to preserve traditional aesthetics. Small cultural events are regularly held here, highlighting the private character of the site.
