The three blue stripes on the flag of Tallinn (former Hanseatic city of Reval) have since the 13th century been based on the three blue lions of the coat of arms of Tallinn and Estonia and symbolize strength and bravery. The white stripes meanwhile, represent peace, freedom and integrity.
History The flag was used as the standard for the city’s commercial fleet in the middle ages. It is still used in souvenirs, historical reenactments and city celebrations.
