Basque Country Flag - Symbol of Euskal Herria’s Identity and Heritage #182074 (License: Personal Use)

The Ikurriña features a white cross superimposed on a green saltire over a red field, symbolizing Basque heritage, Catholic faith (white), and the traditional oak tree of Guernica (green). Designed by Sabino Arana and Luis Arana in 1894, it became the official flag of the Basque Autonomous Community in 1936 and remains a powerful emblem of cultural identity and autonomy. Its bold geometric design ensures high visibility and symbolic resonance across political and civic contexts.
