Fun facts

  1. Three fields from two diagonals

    The flag uses neither horizontal nor vertical stripes: they are two diagonal lines that cross the field and leave three equal bands. It is the same geometry as the Aragonese bars, but applied diagonally and in three colours.

  2. The castle carries its own flag

    The golden castle is not alone: on the central tower a small white flag flies. It is the only figurative detail besides the castle, and it makes it a heraldic figure rather than a schematic tower.

  3. The red is the narrow stripe

    Of the three fields, the red is the narrowest and goes against the flagpole. The figures are placed in the hardest stripe to see, which forces you to look at the flagpole side to find them.
