The Ikurriña (1894) features a green saltire and white cross on red, designed by the founders of Basque nationalism. Now the official flag of the Basque Autonomous Community.
The Basque Country has a distinct language, culture, and identity separate from Spain. The flag (Ikurriña) represents Basque nationalism and independence aspirations. The cross symbolises Christianity; red and white are regional colours.
