This flag is based on a coat of arms granted by Queen Isabella I of Spain in 1502. It is also considered one of the oldest flags in Europe.

Gibraltar is a British territory, but it's a complex place as Spain also claims sovereignty over it. This flag is a symbol that shows the strong identity and pride in self-governance of the Gibraltarian people, carrying political meaning beyond being just a regional flag.
