Spanish Roman Catholic bishop
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.[citation needed]

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