Andorra National Flag

Andorra National Flag -handheld flag Andorra

The flag of Andorra was first adopted in 1866, but was standardised in July 1993, upon Andorra’s joining of the United Nations. The flag is composed of three vertical bands, with blue on the hoist side, yellow in the centre and red on the right side of the flag. This is the same as Chad, Moldova and Romania. These colours were derived from a combination between the colours of the French and Spanish flags, which are the two nations who came to an agreement to have joint jurisdiction over the area in 1278. In the centre of the flag is the coat of arms, which is made up of four different sections. The top left section represents the Bishop of Urgell, the top right is the Count of Foix. On the bottom left the Catalonian royal family as well as the Counts of Urgell are portrayed. Finally, in the bottom right are two red cows which are symbolistic of the Viscount of Bearn. At the bottom of the coat of arms are the words ‘Virtvs Vnita Fortior’ which means ‘United virtue is stronger’.

Andorra is a European principality that is landlocked. France surrounds the northern regions of Andorra, while Spain surrounds the southern regions of the principality. It is approximately 468km² in area and home to around 85,000 people. The capital city is Andorra la Vella. The official language of Andorra is Catalan, making it the only country in the world with Catalan as its official language. Spanish, French and Portuguese are also commonly spoken by Andorrans. Andorra has one of the highest life expectancies in the world at 83.5 years. Andorra also has no military, relying on its neighbours of France and Spain.
