Description
Celebrate your faith and religion with the Vatican flag, representing the center of the Catholic Church and the home of the Pope.
Our Vatican flags are made of nylon, a durable material that is strong enough to withstand weather conditions yet lightweight enough to fly in light winds. The iconic emblem of the Papal tiara and the keys of Saint Peter are digitally printed for precise details and bright, vivid colors.
This Vatican City state flag includes extra stitching to help prevent fraying. Equipped with a canvas header and brass grommets, this flag attaches easily to any of our outdoor flagpoles, including our popular tangle-free flagpole.

Flag of Vatican City History & Meaning
The flag of the Vatican, also known as the Holy See flag, was adopted on June 7, 1929. That year, Pope Pius XI and Italy signed the Lateran Treaty, creating the independent state of Vatican City. The design is based on the yellow and white flag initially used by the Papal States, with the addition of the coat of arms. The emblem includes the crossed keys of Saint Peter, also known as the gold and silver Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven, and a depiction of the Papal tiara above.
