Flag of Valdivia

Flag of Valdivia

The city flag of Valdivia, Chile is a red saltire (crux decussata or X-cross) on a white field. It is thought to have originated from the Spanish cross of Burgundy, as the city of Valdivia was an important stronghold of the Spanish Empire. It is equal to the international maritime signal flag for the letter V and the meaning "I require assistance".
