The Catalonia flag, also called la Senyera in Catalan, is composed of four red horizontal stripes on a yellow gold background. The flag of Catalonia is the emblem of the autonomous community of Catalonia, which includes the provinces of Barcelona, Girona, Lleida and Tarragona and the historic region of Catalonia of Spain. Since October 2017, Catalonia has declared itself the Republic of Catalonia following a major independence movement in the text of the "Declaration of Independence of Catalonia" signed by the Catalan Parliament. At present, Catalonia as a rule of law is not recognised under international law.  The Senyera, a rectangular flag of 2:3 ratio proportion, is one of the oldest flags in Europe, officially considered the traditional national flag and maritime flag of Catalonia since 1979 and is hoisted on public buildings and appears on Catalan official acts.

Catalonia flag sales: discover everything about the history of the legendary Catalan flag

The origin of the flag of Catalonia is part of the medieval legends of the 9th century. It is based on the colours of the coats of arms of the Counts of Barcelona, most precisely the House of Barcelona (Casal de Barcelona in Catalan), the coat of arms of Catalonia and the Crown of Aragon.  The dynasty of the Counts of Barcelona, of Visigothic origin from the Pyrenees, ruled in Spain over several territories of the Hispanic March, the military border of the Eastern Pyrenees of the Carolingian Empire. Its most illustrious representative is Guifred the Velvet, considered the 1st Count of Barcelona of the 9th century, Marquis of Spain and also King of Aragon. The coat of arms of Catalonia were originally the colours of the House of Barcelona and then also became those of the Crown of Aragon. The coat of arms of Catalonia is composed of gold with four palms Gules (i.e. yellow in colour with four vertical red stripes) and surmounted by a crown.

Legend has it that the drawing of the Catalan blood and gold coat of arms was inspired by a war scene in which Guifred the Velvet, who came to lend a helping hand to King Charles II the Bald, king of Western France in a battle against the Normans, was wounded after the battle, his golden shield at his side. The ruler of the Franks would then have traced with blood from Guifred's wound four bloody fingerprints on the gold shield, thus giving the badge of four red bands on a gold background of the Coat of Arms of Catalonia.

Among all flags, the Catalan flag and its coat of arms throughout history have given rise to many other current Spanish flag such as that of the Kingdom of Spain, the Valencian Community, the Balearic Islands, the Autonomous Community of Aragon, the Principality of Andorra and also the flag of the Provence Alpes Côtes d'Azur (PACA) region of France. Other historical flags also include the Catalan coat of arms such as the Kingdom of Sicily, Mallorca and the County of Provence. Catalonia's weapons are also present on many flags of Spanish and French cities such as Aix en Provence, Barcelona, Lleida, Valencia or Perpignan among others.
