Bulgaria

About the flag

The flag depicted is the national flag of Bulgaria, recognizable by its horizontal stripes of white, green, and red. The white symbolizes peace and freedom, green represents the country's lush landscape, and red stands for the bravery of the Bulgarian people. Adopted in 1991, this design is rooted in historical flags that date back to the 19th century, reflecting a lasting national identity. To help remember, think of the color sequence as a representation of Bulgaria's natural beauty—from the snow-capped mountains (white) to the grasslands (green) and the rich cultural spirit (red). Bulgaria is one of the oldest countries in Europe, known for its rich history and traditions, making its flag not just a symbol of the nation but also a reminder of its vibrant cultural heritage.
