The flag of Ceuta is the flag of the Spanish city of Ceuta, consisting of a black and white gyronny.[1]
The gyronny field is identical to that of the flag of Lisbon, to commemorate the fact that the flag was the first to be raised in Ceuta by the Portuguese when they conquered the city in 1415.[2] The city was a part of the Portuguese Empire until the end of the Iberian Union in 1640, after which it decided to remain with Spain.[3] Thus the flag of the city may showing it's coat of arms, which is nearly identical to that of the Kingdom of Portugal, showing the seven castles over the red bordure and the five escutcheons with silver roundels.[4]
