THE FLAG

The flag of Georgia also known as the Five Cross Flag was adopted in January 2004.

The Georgian flag's historical inspiration is the red-on-white Jerusalem cross shown as the flag of Tblisi in the 14th-century map by Domenico and Francesco Pizzigano.

 “     The Georgian national flag is a white rectangle, with in its central portion a large red cross touching all four sides of the flag. In the four corners there are four bolnur-katskhuri crosses of the same color (as the large cross).“

History of the flag

Flag of Georgian kingdom of Iberia during the reign of King Vakhtang I, 5th century.
The white flag with the single red St. George's cross was used by the Georgian King Vakhtang Gorgasali in the 5th century.
Queen Tamar (d. 1213) according to tradition used a flag with a dark red cross and a star in a white field.

In the 1367 map by Domenico and Francesco Pizzigano, the flag of Tifilis (Tbilisi) is shown as a Jerusalem cross (a large cross with smaller crosses in each quarter). According to D. Kldiashvili (1997), the Jerusalem cross might have been adopted during the reign of George V of Georgia.
