Swiss Flag

The Swiss national flag

The flag of Switzerland is a distinctive and respected national symbol. It consists of a white cross on a red background, with arms of equal length positioned in the centre of the flag. Officially adopted in 1889, the Swiss flag is one of the few square national flags, which makes it unique.

The white cross on a red background has a deep historical significance, dating back to the banners of the ancient Swiss confederations in the Middle Ages. Red symbolises courage and valour, while white represents peace and purity.

The Swiss flag is flown on national holidays, notably on 1 August, Swiss National Day, which commemorates the founding of the Swiss Confederation in 1291. It can also be seen at international sporting events, where it represents Switzerland's neutrality and unity. The flag embodies the values of democracy, peace and solidarity, and is a symbol of Swiss national identity.
