Ramón Iglesias i Navarri

Ramón Iglesias i Navarri (28 January 1889 in Vall de Boí – 31 March 1972) was a Spanish Roman Catholic bishop. He was the Bishop of Urgell and Episcopal Co-Prince of Andorra from 4 April 1943, until 29 April 1969. During World War II, he helped to keep Andorra neutral and strongly promoted a Spanish influence in the principality. It is during his time that tourism was developed. Navarri was ordained priest on 14 July 1912, at the age of 23.

In this Catalan name, the first or paternal surname is Iglesias and the second or maternal family name is Navarri; both are generally joined by the conjunction "i".

Navarri visited Andorra at least once a year while serving as co-prince.[1]
