Discover the Unique Heritage of Andorra

Andorra’s unusual history is written into the very way it is governed today. Believed to have been created by Charlemagne, the territory was ruled by the count of Urgell until 988, when ownership was transferred to the Diocese of Urgell. In 1278, a formal charter established Andorra as a polity, and this shared leadership eventually evolved into the unique co-principality that still defines the nation.

Today, Andorra is led by two co-princes with equal constitutional powers: the Bishop of Urgell in Catalonia, Spain, and the president of France. Since the 1993 Constitution, sovereignty has rested with the Andorran people within a parliamentary co-principality, blending centuries-old institutions with modern governance.
