Luxembourg
provinceslionstripesblue
The flag of Luxembourg province displays a horizontal bicolor of blue over white with blue-and-white horizontal stripes (barry of ten, argent and azure), derived from the arms of the medieval County of Luxembourg. In the center sits a red lion rampant with a forked tail and golden crown. The barry field and red lion connect this Belgian province to the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg next door, as both descend from the same medieval county. Luxembourg is Belgium's largest and least densely populated province.
The Belgian province of Luxembourg is actually larger than the independent Grand Duchy of Luxembourg next door — the province covers 4,440 km² versus the country's 2,586 km².
