Predominantly Roman Catholic.

Most of the churches of Andorra are probably not widely known outside
Andorra apart from those which are tourist attractions, e.g. St Joan de
Caselles[1] and Santa Coloma and Meritxell. A number of Andorran
churches and chapels have been depicted on postage stamps. You can find
descriptions of a few of them, mainly the smaller ones, on my web site.

Andorra is a multi-national and, to some extent at least, a multi-
cultural community. Most of the population are Andorran, Spanish and
French but there are smaller numbers of quite a few other nationalities
resident there. The vast majority would be Christians of one sort or
another but other faiths may be present. Some of the ex-patriates may
have their own arrangements for worship. For example, there are regular
services in English.

[1] Note that Joan is the Catalan rendering of John. St Juli� is also a
male saint - St Julian. Catalan drops the final "n" from the word and
places an accent on the "a".
