symbol and color of Spain flag


The Spain flag, according to the Spain constitution, consists of three horizontal rows.

These three horizontal rows are red, yellow, and red from top to bottom. The size of the middle row, which is yellow, is twice the size of each red row.

If you pay attention, the design seen in the yellow bar is not exactly in the center and is tilted to the left. The designers of the flag noticed that the central design would not be well visible if the wind blew, so the main symbol was not in the middle of the bar.

Each of the four quadrants in the flag symbolizes one of the four major dynasties and eras of the Spain monarchy, all of which formed a united Spain in the late 15th century.

Castile is marked with a castle and fortress, Leon is represented by a lion, Aragon is marked with 5 yellow stripes and 4 vertical red stripes, and Navar is symbolized by interconnected chains.

Morris (King of Granada) appears at the bottom of the logo with pomegranate fruit. The two flag-enclosed pillars symbolize the discovery of Spain and American colonization, and the pillars are the gateway to Gibraltar to the Atlantic Ocean. And they are an allusion to the new world.
