History of the Andorran Flag

The Andorra flag features a tricolor design comprised of a three vertical, equal-sized stripes of blue, yellow, and red. The central feature of the flag is the Andorra coat of arms which in the center of the yellow panel. The current Andorran national flag was adopted in 1866. Prior to that, from 1806 until 1866, the Andorra flag featured a bi-color design of yellow and red.

Andorra is historically linked to France, Spain, Catalonia, and Foix. It's history with these nations dates back to its supposed beginnings. Andorra's historical documents suggest that they are the last independent survivor of the Marca Hispanica which were the "buffer states" created by Charlemagne to keep Islamic Moors from reaching and advancing into Christian France. It is believed that the Andoor's were given charter as payment for their help in fighting the Moors. The grandson of Charlemagne gave the title of Overlord of Andorra to the Count of Urgell in the 9th Century. The lands were later given to the Diocese of Urgell a few generations later by one of the descendants of the Count.

Under the threat of military attack, the Bishop of Urgell was protected by the lord of cabinet who was a Catalan Nobleman. The Count of Foix became the heir to the Lord of Cabinet by marriage, however, the question as to who was the true heir of Andorra became a source a dispute between the Occitan Count and the Catalan Bishop. In 1278, they came to an agreement to split the areas they would rule and to share in the progression of the people and country together. The Andorran's pay a tribute annually to the Queseida which is the co-rulers who were able to recognize the others equal principle rights and rule as one together. Each year, Andorra pays homage to the leaders by giving them four hams, forty loaves of bread and a number of bottles of wine. The fact that Andorra's borders have not changed since 1278 is a testament to this unity.

The blue and red colors featured on the flag pay homage to France's colors and the yellow and red signify the countries connection to Spain, Catalonia, and Foix. The wider yellow stripe in the middle is similar to that on the Catalan flag and on the arms of the old county foix (which is now part of France). The Andorra Coat of Arms features the motto, "Virtus Unita Fortior," which translates to: "Virtue United is Stronger."

The Andorran flag is very similar to those of Romania, Moldova and Chad, except, their flags all have equally-sized tricolor designs, whereas the the larger stripe in the middle of the Andorran flag distinguishes this flag as unique.

Andorra is a small country with no coast. L, locked between Spain and France and is predominantly comprised of rugged mountains and valleys. Its area spans 180 square miles and its seasons are slightly cooler than its neighbors.
