About Constitution Day

Andorra observes Constitution Day on March 14, commemorating the referendum in which the country’s 1993 Constitution was approved. The General Council publishes the constitutional history and the Government of Andorra lists the date in official holiday information.

The referendum date is not identical to the later co-princely enactment and official publication that brought the Constitution into legal force.

Why Constitution Day matters

The Constitution established the Principality’s modern constitutional framework and addresses sovereignty, the General Council, rights and state institutions.

Constitution Day is a civic observance within Andorra. Ceremonial programming and holiday-service details may vary by institution and year.

History of Constitution Day

The General Council adopted the constitutional text on February 2, 1993. The Andorran people approved it in a referendum on March 14, 1993.

The Co-Princes ratified and enacted the text on April 28; the Constitution entered into force on its publication. March 14 is celebrated because of the referendum, not because all these legal steps happened that day.
