 Flag of Barcelona

The flag of Barcelona () is the municipal flag of Barcelona, which combines the cross of Saint George (, ), the patron saint of Catalonia, with the traditional red and yellow bars of the Senyera, the ancient symbol of the Crown of Aragon (here, the bars are vertical, though the modern flag of Catalonia has horizontal stripes).The flag in its current form has been official since 1776, though it (or variations on it) may have been in use since the nineteenth century.
