We completely determine the moduli space M(N,k) of k vortices in U(N) gauge theory with N Higgs fields in the fundamental representation. Its open subset for separated vortices is found as the symmetric product (CxCP(N-1))k/(see text)k. Orbifold singularities of this space correspond to coincident vortices and are resolved resulting in a smooth moduli manifold.

The moduli space of these non-Abelian walls is found to be the complex Grassmann manifold SU(N(F)) divided by SU(N(C))xSU(N(F)-N(C))xU(1) endowed with a deformed metric.
