Swiss Flag - National Symbol of Switzerland #3608520 (License: Personal Use)

The Swiss flag features a striking red background with a white equilateral cross centered both horizontally and vertically. Unlike most national flags, it is square-shaped (1:1 aspect ratio), a unique distinction shared only with Vatican City. The design dates back to the 14th century, evolving from battlefield banners used by Swiss Confederates, and was officially adopted in 1889.
