Sardinia Flag

The Four Moors: the flag of Sardinia

The flag of Sardinia is the flag of the Four Moors: a white field divided by a red cross, with a Moor's head in each quarter wearing a white band across the forehead. It is the symbol in which Sardinians recognise where they belong: the Sardinian flag tells the story of a whole island with four faces and a cross.

An Aragonese legend

According to a legend, in 1096, during the battle of Alcoraz in Spain, a knight with a cross on his chest appeared and put the Moors to flight. The knight was identified with Saint George, and King Peter I of Aragon is said to have created the arms of the red cross with the heads of four fallen kings. In the records, the emblem first appears in 1281, on a seal of the chancery of Peter the Great, King of Aragon.

From the arms of Aragon to the symbol of the island

In the fourteenth century, in a famous armorial kept in Brussels, the Four Moors already appear as the symbol of Sardinia, though the Sardinian page may have been added a few decades later. On the island the first sure record dates from the end of the sixteenth century, in the acts of the Sardinian parliament printed in Cagliari: there the Moors wear the band on the forehead and their eyes are free. Only in the Savoy era did the Moors appear blindfolded.

From the nineteenth century to the Region

In the nineteenth century the Four Moors began to be felt as the symbol of Sardinian identity; in 1921 they were adopted by the Partito Sardo d'Azione, and on 5 July 1952 a decree of the President of the Republic granted the Autonomous Region of Sardinia its coat of arms: silver with a red cross between four bandaged Moors' heads.

The flag today

Regional law no. 10 of 15 April 1999 fixed the flag as we see it today: a white field with a red cross, with a Moor's head in each quarter, bandaged across the forehead and facing away from the pole.
