Basque Country Flag - Symbol of Euskal Herria’s Identity and Heritage #1803935 (License: Personal Use)

The Ikurriña features a red field with a green saltire (diagonal cross) overlaid by a white cross, representing the historic provinces of the Basque region. Designed by Sabino Arana in 1894, it combines Christian symbolism (white cross) with traditional Basque colors (green for oak, red for blood and sacrifice). Today, it flies across the autonomous communities of the Basque Country and Navarre, and is a powerful emblem of linguistic and cultural preservation.
