Significado de la Bandera

The flag of Gibraltar is an elongated banner of arms based on the coat of arms of Gibraltar, granted by Royal Warrant from Queen Isabella I of Castile on 10 July 1502. Gibraltar is unique as it is the only British Overseas Territory whose flag does not feature the Union Jack in any form, although the latter is widely flown as a standalone flag within the colony. The castle does not resemble any in Gibraltar but is supposed to represent the fortress of Gibraltar.
