Fun facts

  1. The tower next to the flagpole, not in the centre

    The tower is not in the centre of the field but against the flagpole. It is an asymmetric placement: it leaves the red free on the right and concentrates the figure at the point where the flag is hoisted.

  2. A golden tower, not of stone

    The tower is yellow, with the masonry marked in black and lit. It is the same device as on the flag of Aielo de Rugat: a single figure in one colour, with the detail drawn on top.

  3. Red above and green below

    The two halves are red and green. The flag is a landscape in two bands: the fortress and the field.
