The Flag of Opole, Poland, is the official symbol representing the city of Opole, located in southern Poland. Adopted on October 31, 2006, the flag consists of three horizontal bands in the colors green, white, and red, with the city coat of arms placed centrally on the white band. The upper and lower green bands each occupy approximately 40% of the flag's height, while the white band takes up the remaining 20%.
The Flag of Opole symbolizes the historic region of Oppeln, which encompasses the modern-day city of Opole. Green signifies growth and hope, white represents purity, peace, and faith, and red stands for courage and bravery – all significant qualities in Opole's rich past and future. The coat of arms on the white band features a shield divided into four quarters, each representing one of the medieval powers that ruled over Opole throughout history: the Kingdom of Poland, the Duchy of Brzeg, the Kingdom of Bohemia, and the Margraviate of Brandenburg.
The Flag of Opole is an essential part of the city's cultural identity, often displayed during public events and ceremonies to celebrate Opole's heritage and traditions.
