The flag of Andorra has a long history that dates back to the 13th century. Andorra is a small principality located in the Pyrenees Mountains between Spain and France. It was traditionally ruled by the Bishop of Urgell and the Count of Foix, who were joint sovereigns. The flag of Andorra is believed to have been inspired by the arms of these two rulers.
The blue and yellow colors of the flag are said to represent the sky and the sun, respectively. The blue stripes symbolize the French influence on Andorra, while the yellow stripe represents the Spanish influence. The coat of arms in the center of the flag represents the historical and political ties between Andorra and its two rulers.
The current design of the flag was officially adopted on August 27, 1971. Prior to that, Andorra used a different flag, which consisted of three vertical stripes of red, yellow, and red. This flag was used from 1866 to 1971.
The flag of Andorra is an important national symbol and is displayed on public buildings, during national holidays, and at sporting events. It represents the unique history, culture, and identity of the people of Andorra.
