Flags are one of the oldest legacies of our civilization. Modern flags come from what used to be called banners, and they were used by armies to recognize their allies and identify themselves among comrades.
Nowadays, flags still play an important role in cultural identification, but not only that. In fact, their most common use is to identify a nation or state, but still today they can be used as a method of communication, for example in the nautical world.
Focusing only on national flags, today we want to have some fun by showing you what are the most distinctive, as well as beautiful and striking, flags in the world.
