Andorra
"El Gran Carlemany" (The Great Charlemagne)

Words by: Joan Benlloch i Vivó
Music by: Enric Marfany Bons
Adopted: 1914

One of my favourite anthems, "El Gran Carelmany" presents the nation's history in a first-person narrative. The anthem was officially adopted on September 8, 1914, the anniversary date of the feast of the Maiden of Meritxell, the patron saint of Andorra.
