Flag

Flag
   The flag of the city of Brussels consists of a field bisected equally on the top by a green strip and on the bottom by a red strip. Superimposed on the field is an image in yellow of Saint Michael the Archangel slaying a dragon.
   The flag of the Brussels Capital Region (BCR) features a yellow iris on a blue background. The blue is that of the European Union. The iris is a flower that flourishes along the banks of the Senne River. It was displayed on the scepter of Charles of France. The iris was chosen as the emblem of the BCR by the Regional Council on 5 March 1991. The flag was adopted on 22 June 1991.
