Origin of the flag of Galicia

On June 22nd, 1891, the 1845 flag of La Coruña is modified, leaving just one diagonal arm of the cross, "to avoid the difficulties that could arise, confusing the ensign of the Russian Empire with that of the maritime province of La Coruña".

José Carlos Alegría, 9 November 1999

The naval flag of A Coruña originated the current Galician flag.

António Martins, 20 October 1998
