How it was born, how it has changed and what it means.
The flag of the province of Burgos is a purple field with the provincial coat of arms in the centre. It is the flag of the Provincial Council of Burgos: it has been used since 1979, but it had no official approval until 2008.
The first years of democracy brought many new symbols, and the Provincial Council of Burgos began using this flag in 1979. For almost thirty years it worked without any official rule describing it. That changed on 8 October 2008, when a regulation signed by the institution itself governed it, published in the official bulletin on 17 October.
The design has been the same since 1979. The only thing that changed in 2008 was its official recognition.
The coat of arms tells the story of Burgos as a capital of Castile:
King Ferdinand III the Holy
he appears with an open crown. His mantle is decorated with castles.
Three castles on the king’s robe
they represent the jurisdictions of Lara, Muño and Cellorigo.
Large castle on the right
Castile, of which Burgos was the historic capital.
The flag was in use from 1979 and was not regulated until October 2008, published in the bulletin on the 17th.
The regulation says that, in the buildings of the province, the flag of Spain takes the centre, that of the Council goes to its left and that of Castile and León to its right.
The same regulation forbids putting the emblems of parties or organisations on the flag.
