The flag of Wales, known as Y Ddraig Goch (The Red Dragon), is one of the most striking and symbolic flags in the world. Featuring a red dragon passant on a green and white field, it represents centuries of Welsh identity, pride, and resilience.

History

The origins of the red dragon symbol stretch back to Roman times, when it was believed that dragons brought strength in battle. The Welsh adopted the dragon early on, and it became associated with the legendary King Arthur and the Tudor dynasty. Although it was not officially recognised until 1959, the red dragon had long flown as a symbol of Welsh heritage.

Meaning

The red dragon represents power and courage. The green and white background was added by the Tudors, a royal house of Welsh origin, to symbolise peace and harmony. Together, the colours and creature reflect a deep-rooted sense of national pride and history.
