Vatican City Holy See

The flag of Vatican City consists of two vertical bands of yellow and white with the crossed keys of Saint Peter and the Papal Tiara on the white field. Yellow and white represent the traditional colors of the Holy See, while the gold and silver keys symbolize the spiritual authority entrusted to Saint Peter. The tiara represents the papacy.

The current flag was officially adopted on June 7, 1929, following the Lateran Treaty that established Vatican City State. It reflects the sovereignty of the Vatican City State and the historic symbols of the Holy See.
