The Belgian flag is a distinctive and recognisable national symbol. It consists of three vertical stripes of equal width: black on the left, yellow in the centre and red on the right. Officially adopted on 23 January 1831, the design of the Belgian flag was inspired by the colours of the Duchy of Brabant, a historic region of Belgium.
The colours of the Belgian flag each have a specific meaning. Black represents determination, yellow symbolises prosperity and wealth, and red evokes courage and bravery. Together, these colours reflect the unity and national identity of the country.
The flag is often flown on national holidays, such as Belgian National Day on 21 July, which commemorates the inauguration of the first King of the Belgians, Leopold I, in 1831. It is also used at sporting and cultural events, embodying Belgium's diversity and rich history, as well as its commitment to democracy and freedom.
