  3. During the Second Republic in Spain, a royal decree was published establishing that the Spanish flag would have three colors: red, yellow and purple, with the coat of arms of Spain.
  4. The flag of Spain was born to solve a naval problem, since the Bourbon dynasty that ruled Spain, Naples, Parma, France and Sicily had several ships with very similar white flags. That is why Charles III ordered a new Spanish flag to be created to tell it apart.
  5. In the 18th century, when Charles III ordered Antonio Valdés to create a new flag, a contest was organized to decide which one would win. From that contest came 12 sketches, of which the King chose two. Amazing!
