Do you know?

Most flags are rectangles, but one country has a square flag. Let’s learn which country it is and why it’s special.

Unique Flag Shape

Vatican City has the only square national flag in the world. It is shaped like a perfect square.

Colours and Symbols

The flag has two vertical stripes—yellow and white. The white side shows a crown and two keys.

Shows Independence

The square shape helps show that Vatican City is an independent country. It is not part of Italy.

Created in 1929

The flag was made in 1929 after a special agreement. This agreement was between the Pope and Italy.

A Special Meaning

The flag stands for both the Catholic religion and the Vatican’s power. It is a religious and political symbol.

Different from Other Flags

Most countries have rectangular flags, but Vatican City chose a square one. This makes it easy to recognise.
