Aragon

The flag of Aragon is the flag of the autonomous community of Aragon, in accordance with the provisions of the Statute of Autonomy:

Article 3.- Symbols and capitality.

The flag of Aragon is the traditional one of the four horizontal red bars on a yellow background. The Aragon shield is the traditional one of the four quarters, topped by the corresponding crown, which will appear in the center of the flag.

Law 2/1984, of April 16, of the Autonomous Community of Aragon, regulates the use of the Flag and Shield of the region, establishing in its article 5 that "The Shield of Aragon will always appear in the center of the flag ".1

However, Decree 48/1984 of the General Council of Aragon, by which the official model of the coat of arms of Aragon is made public, and the precise norms on making and material characteristics of the Flag of Aragon are established, establishes in its article 2º that "when the Flag of Aragon has the normal proportion, the length equal to three half of the width, the axis of the Shield will be placed at a distance from the sheath of half width of the Flag", 2 this being the flag used by the institutions of Aragon.

This is the traditional Señera, although with the inclusion of the shield, to differentiate it from the flag of Catalonia, since when the statute of Autonomy of Aragon was approved on August 10, 1982 (LO 8/1982), it had already been approved in the statute of autonomy of Catalonia of December 18, 1979 (LO 4/1979), which adopted the Señera as the official flag.

Initially, in 1977, during the first meetings, a flag of red bars over yellow was waved and a field with the cross of San Jorge at the flagpole, which was approved on May 28, 1977 by the plenary session of the Zaragoza County Council. On April 12, 1978, and until 1984 (the year of approval of the Statute of Autonomy), the one "constituted by four red bars" was instituted and used and in which the shield could be incorporated, which was "the one constituted by its four barracks traditional: the oak of Sobrarbe, the Cruz de Íñigo Arista, the cross of San Jorge surrounded by the four heads of Moors and the sticks of gules ». This measure was taken at the first meeting of the newly constituted General Council of Aragon.3 Decree 48/1984, which regulates the official model of the flag and shield, formalizes a variant of this flag, moving the shield towards the flagpole and specifying a defined design of the shield
