Corric architecture draws from many heritages and influences. The humans from southern Arcturia that settled the Andora region brought the Impelantic architectural style. Almost all Corric buidlings from the early 1st millenium are some variation of these styles. The city of Porta Armada is the largest surviving example of Impelantic architecture in Casilló y Réal. A derivative style, known as Andoran Impelantic, developed over the 4th century. This style informed much of the aesthetic and proportional languages of later Corric architecture. Hallmarks of traditional Corric styles such as Deseré include fired clay roofing, colorful window settings, and a washed stone exterior.

Some styles in the northern regions incorporated ideas from the Nacatan architectural styles. In the 6th century, the Vedra style became popular, combining Tunseist, Impelantic, and Nacatan architectural languages. The Vedra style combined traditional mosaics and frescos with patterened structures and decorative stonework to create intricate designs and optical effects. The style eventually gave rise to the NeoVedra school in the 14th century. Cathedrals, castles, and monuments built by NeoVedra architects are considered to be some of the most imporant architectural heritage sites of northern Andora.

Modern architecture and international standards blended with Corric traditions to create the Corinteró style in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Important architectural schools such as the Ganuá Academy are responsible for many landmarks in modern sections of Corric cities in the Corinteró style. An ultramodernist style currently expanding within the country is the Tranquíla school, named for its emergence in the city of Porta Tranquíla.
