Basque Country Flag - Symbol of Basque Identity and Autonomy #2306637 (License: Personal Use)

The Ikurriña features a red saltire (St. Andrew’s cross) edged in white, set against a green background-colors symbolizing Basque tradition, faith, and hope. Designed by Sabino Arana in 1894, it became the official regional flag in 1936 and remains a powerful emblem of Basque nationalism and cultural pride. Its bold geometry and symbolic palette make it instantly recognizable across Spain and France’s Basque territories.
