cantonsbicolordiagonalgeometric
The flag of Zürich is diagonally divided from top-left to bottom-right, with white (silver) in the upper portion and blue in the lower. This simple bicolor design dates back to the 13th century and represents the city's medieval banner carried into battle. The diagonal division is a distinctive heraldic feature rarely seen among Swiss cantons.
Zürich is Switzerland's largest city and financial center, yet its flag is one of the simplest among all 26 cantons.
