Flag History

The historical flag of Andorra, which was used from 1806 to 1866, featured two equally sized red and yellow vertical (sometimes horizontal) bands. It is claimed that this flag was granted by Napoleon in 1806 but use of the flag may go back to much earlier.

A variant of the flag is said to have been created in 1866, although the design was standardized in 1993 after Andorra joined the United Nations.

From 1931 until 1939 a horizontal version of the flag was used which was meant to reflect the Spanish flag. From 1939 to 1949 a variant of the 1866 flag flew but with a different flag ratio and coat of arms and following that from 1949 to 1959 a variant with a different colors appeared. Multiple versions of the modern flag were flown until 1993 when Andorra standardized their flag with their entry into the United Nations.
