The history of the flag of Marseille
Being the Capital of the Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur (Paca) region located in the Bouches-du-Rhône department, Marseille is a coastal city in the South of France that borders the Mediterranean Sea. It is ranked as the second largest city in France. The Marseille flag is its vexillary emblem! It consists of an azure blue cross on a white background. Its vexillological particularity? It is this medieval flag that inspired the city's coat of arms and not the other way around.
This city flag dates back to the Crusades and it is a very old European pavilion that blasphemes in heraldic language: "silver on the azure cross".
At that time, the ports that sheltered ships bound for the Holy Land or the ships carried flags with an azure cross (maritime flags) to indicate a boat or a safe place (or a certain respect for the inhabitants of the Crusader port city). These flags also represented the "good cities" that were favoured by the King of France, of which Marseille was a part. Thus, you will notice that it is not uncommon for Provençal ports and the major Mediterranean ports to carry flags and coats of arms decorated with a cross!
According to historical research, the first mention of the Marseille flag was made in the city's statutes in 1254. Later, a convention of the city of Marseille and King Charles I of Anjou, King of Naples and Sicily, as well as the tale of Provence stipulates that "on land and sea, on their naves, galleys and other buildings, they would continue to carry the flag of their commune in the usual manner and that, only, the flag of the Count Lord would be placed in the most honorable place. »
With the motto of the city of Marseille "Actibus Immensis Urbs Fulget Massiliensis" (the city of Marseille shines with its achievements), the coat of arms of Marseille with the lion and the bull, the most recent logo of the city of Marseille (a mixture of the blue cross and the European flag of the European Union), the Marseille flag is part of all the symbols associated with the city of Marseille.
The two colours white and blue are also worn by the football players of the famous football club Olympique Marseillais (OM) who also have an OM coat of arms designed with the same shade of blue as the city flag!
