Dublin is the capital and largest city of Ireland.

Description[]

The Dublin City Flag presents a combination of national and civic emblems, with the harp of Ireland in gold on a green background and the Three Castles of Dublin in white on a blue canton.

History[]

The flag of Dublin was adopted in 1885. The arms of the city, which date from the medieval period, were at first placed in a small square canton on the national flag of the period (a gold harp centred on a green field). The canton has since been enlarged to cover a quarter of the flag, thus displacing the harp towards the fly.
