The Roman Catholic diocese Urgell [ uɾˈʒeʎ ] ( Latin Dioecesis Urgellensis , Catalan Bisbat d'Urgell ) is the Spanish diocese , headed by the bishop of Urgell, who resides in La Seu d'Urgell , as diocesan bishop. It stands out because its diocesan bishop is ex officio with the French president, one of the co- princes of Andorra and thus head of state of an independent state. The whole state of Andorra is part of this diocese.
The map below shows the Urgell diocese with its nine deaneries in the ecclesiastical province of Tarragona . One of them is the state of Andorra (above, brown).
