The cabinet has a lock for each of the parishes of Andorra. The second floor housed, until the beginning of the nineties, the Postal Museum of Andorra, which was dismantled to provide meeting space for the Comissió Tripartida, in charge of drafting the Constitution of Andorra in 1993.

At the door of the house is the Busquets coat of arms along with the coat of arms of Andorra.

Casa de la Vall is depicted on the Andorran 1 euro coin.
