Flag of Latvia

The flag of Latvia consists of a deep carmine red field with a narrow white stripe in the center. The red color symbolizes the blood shed for freedom and the bravery of the Latvian people, while the white stripe represents justice and independence. The stripes follow a 3:1:3 ratio and trace back to a legendary 13th-century battle flag. It was officially adopted in 1918, banned under Soviet occupation, and restored upon Latvia’s independence in 1990. As one of the Baltic states, it serves as a powerful national symbol. It is commonly used in travel posts and international events to denote Latvia.
