Wales Flag
Wales' flag (Welsh: Baner Cymru or Y Ddraig Goch, meaning “the red dragon”) is a red dragon passant on a green and white field. For ages, the red dragon has been a symbol of Wales, signifying the Welsh nation's boldness and independence.
The origins of the flag can be traced back to the 7th century and King Cadwaladr's reign, who employed the dragon as an emblem. King Henry VII added the green and white colors later in the 15th century, and it was officially recognized as the national flag in 1959. Today, the red dragon appears on the flags of various Welsh cities, including the capital, Cardiff.
