Flag of Ceuta Spain - Color Changing Coffee Mug

The Flag of Ceuta is the official symbol representing the Spanish autonomous city of Ceuta, located on the northern coast of Africa. It consists of three horizontal stripes in the colors green, white, and red, with the coat of arms of Ceuta centrally placed on the white band. The flag design was officially adopted in 1985, reflecting the historical ties between Ceuta and Spain. Ceuta, a small enclave bordered by Morocco, has been under Spanish rule since 1668, with its status recognized by various international agreements. The three colors of the flag are common to both Spain and Ceuta's neighboring region, Tangier, which were ruled by the same Berber dynasties before Spanish colonization. The coat of arms featured on the white stripe displays the city's emblematic symbol: a lion passant guardant, representing vigilance and courage, standing on a rock above two crossed keys, symbolizing the Keys to the Kingdom of Ceuta. The green, white, and red horizontal stripes are also found in the flags of Spain and Morocco, reflecting Ceuta's unique cultural and historical identity as an African city under Spanish rule.
