History of the Flag of Andorra

The current flag of Andorra – known as the state flag - was introduced in 1866, adding a blue stripe to the red and yellow flag of Foix (Foix is a traditional provence in France with a flag of red and yellow stripes). By adding this blue stripe, both France and Spain are represented with two colours in the Andorran flag – blue and red for France, red and yellow for Spain.

Andorra flag information

There is a version of the state flag that is the same design except it does not bare the coat of arms. In Andorra it is used just as often as the state flag, as there is no legislation regarding the flag.

The coat of arms used on the Andorran flag is traditionally made up of four quarters. The four quarters are:

Top-left - the one of the Bishopric

Top-right – the one of Catalonia

Bottom-left – the one of Foix

Bottom-right – the one of Bearn
