Portugal Flag-inspired gifts and merchandise are more popular than ever. The Portuguese flag isn't just a tourist souvenir anymore. The flag of Portugal (Bandeira de Portugal) is made of two vertical stripes. The stripe on the left is dark green and the right one red. Significant - the stripes are uneven. A coat of arms with the country's traditional shield is at the center of the Portuguese flag. The red section represents the Portuguese revolution of 1910 and the green represents hope. The blue shields represent the victory of King Afonso Henriques over five Moorish kings. The armillary sphere, an instrument used in navigation, reminds us of Portuguese maritime exploration. The flag of Portugal was adopted in 1910 after the deposition of Manuel II of Bragança when the flag of Portugal changed from white and blue to the actual colors. The first use of the current flag design was in 1911. Get ready to celebrate Portugal Day in green and red or show your Portuguese pride all year long!
