Proportion | 2:3 |
Adopted | July 1, 1982 |
The flag of the Valencian Community is the traditional Valencian crowned Senyera, composed of four red bars on a yellow background, crowned with a blue strip party per pale next to the spear with 1/4 of the total length.
The official flag, also known as Senyera Coronada or Crowned Senyera is the same as Valencia's City flag, which, in turn, is a historical derivation of the Senyera, the heraldic symbol of the Crown of Aragon, also used today with few variations in all the former Kingdoms and Counties which were a part of this crown.
It was granted to the city of Valencia by James I of Aragon as the free municipality's own flag. The currently existing one, a faithful copy of the original, was made in the 17th century and it is kept, though very damaged, at the City Historical Archive of Valencia.
Its symbolic colours are or, four stripes of gules and a transversal azure band ornated with lambrequins of or, thus synthesizing the arrival of Aragon to the Valencian sea[citation needed] and its official use is with proportions 2:3 [1][2][3]
