The earliest document known that mentions Andorra is the act of consecration of the cathedral of Santa Maria of Urgell in 839, which mentions the parishes (administrative and territorial divisions) of Andorra as the fief of the Counts of Urgell.
With its historical and political development, Andorra continues to be a co-principality, with the bishop of Urgell and the president of the French Republic as the co-princes by personal title and in absolute equality.
From the creation of the Land Council in 1419 as a first parliamentary form, when representatives from all the parishes met together to deal with the problems of the community, and right up to the present day, the Andorrans have not ceased to move forward in modernising and updating their institutions.
