---------------------------
The flag of Galicia appeared for first time in the 19th century, probably based on the colours of the ancient medieval flags of the Kingdom of Galicia. Originally, the flag was probably a blue St Andrew's Cross over a white field – St Andrew is one of the most popular saints in Galicia. The Coat of Arms of Galicia was actually the former flag of the Kingdom of Galicia. The colors blue, white and gold were always related with Galicia. The chalice, with a silver host, and the golden crosses on blue background have been its symbol since medieval times (13th century). For some time it was thought that it was based on the flag of the maritime province of Corunna, but today it is known that the design is earlier.

The symbols of Galicia are the civil flag, which is the blue and white flag, the coat of arms of Galicia, and the flag, which is the result of adding the coat of arms over the civil flag.[1]

The coat of arms of Galicia was actually the former flag of the Kingdom of Galicia prior to the creation of the modern flag in the 19th century. In the early 1980s, the Royal Galician Academy asked the Galician Government to incorporate the former flag of the Kingdom of Galicia onto the modern flag. The result of that suggestion was the State Flag. The State Flag features the Galician coat of arms over the common civil flag, and it is the official flag that must be displayed in all institutional events of the national and local governments in Galicia.

The estreleira is the flag used by Galician nationalists of left-of-centre to far-left ideological allegiance. This flag merges the Galician national flag (a blue band on a white background) with a red star. The estreleira flag was created by communist activists of the UPG (Unión do Povo Galego) in the 1960s, correlating the red star to the stars in the flags of many Socialist countries, in particular Yugoslavia.

All the nationalist left-wing political parties of Galicia (BNG, AGE, FPG, CERNA, Nós-Unidade Popular, Causa Galiza, ...) use the Estreleira flag as a party symbol. It's also used by the left-wing nationalist trade unions (such as CIG or CUT).

Included is also the banner of the ancient Kingdom of Galicia, modeled after its historical coat of arms.
