Legend has it that Charlemagne founded Andorra in
the year 805, in recognition of the help that its
inhabitants gave him in the fight against the
Saracens. But the first document in which the
country is mentioned is the act of consecration of
the Cathedral of Santa María de Urgell, from the
mid-9th century. In 1278 and 1288 couples were
signed that made Andorra's sovereignty official,
thus the principality was born.
