#358123 has the title 'City Hall', when issued '1980 City Hall' and the theme 'Town Halls.' The depicted 'Casa de la Valls' was built in 1580 for the Busquets family. It was purchased in 1702 by the Consell General de les Valls which is (or was not) a city council, but a council representing the inhabitants of the various parishes of the principality, ie, a kind of parliament. De Consell has now moved into a nearby building. The house is now a museum and is still used by the Consell General de les Valls for special occasions.

See also the website of the Casa de la Valls: https://visitandorra.com/en/culture/casa-de-la-vall/

It has never been a town hall or village council hall.

Idem #9301795

A possible reason could have been a poor translation from French, but it seems that France introduced the Dutch language.

It's a wiki, so you can edit it. Change under options.

There you can also view the history of the changes.

@fazerco, thanks. I didn't think you could just change the title.

Lyonesse great, I only looked at the description.
The Casa de la Valls is worth a visit.

I saw that you changed the issue name.
At LastDodo they normally do not put the year directly behind it, so like here 1980 means 400 years. (See stamp manual)
This stamp is actually known as House of the Valleys in Dutch

Lyonesse I actually went with the old title that already had the year '1980 City Hall.'
I don't know if the translation 'House of the Valleys' and 'House of the Valleys' is a good path to take. Do we call the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona 'Holy Family' or 'Holy Family?'

Casa de la Valls is a name and not an interpretation.

I only wrote that this stamp is known as House of the Valleys.
What kind of name the animal ultimately gets is not that important to me.
When it is issued, the only thing that ultimately matters is that if you click on it, you will see the entire issue of the Series.
But you can simply change it back to 1980 Casa de la Valls, but not to 1980, 400 years of Casa de la Valls.
Maybe I didn't explain it clearly before, with LastDodo when it is issued they don't put a number after a number, like here 1980, another number like here, 1980 400 years of Casa de la Valls.

Lyonesse I removed the '1980'. That stood like a flag on a mud barge. The inscription on the stamp speaks for itself that it commemorates the 400th anniversary of the current house (1580 - 1980).

I removed the '1980'.
That 1980 just had to go (see the rules from the manual below). :-)
It was about the 400 after 1980. I have adjusted it a bit.

First enter the year, then one space. After this, preferably do not start with a number, so preferably not 1937 1st Soviet Architect's Congress (this is not pleasant to read) but: 1937 First Soviet Architect's Congress For long-running series where the stamps must be grouped together as a series, enter only one year and the year in which the first stamp of the series was issued.

I can't explain it better
But I now think, based on your references in the stamp manual, it will work.

LastDodo is a Wiki where anyone can edit or change something, and this is fine, but according to the rules of LastDodo.
So my tip, first read the Stamp Handbook.
