Foreign Arms and Flags in Copenhagen


Of course, Copenhagen being the the capitol of Denmark, we should not be surprised to find the flags and/or arms of other nations appearing there, as capitol cities will generally host the embassies and consulates of foreign countries there.

So, during our walkabouts in Copenhagen, we found the following (in alphabetical order), without really trying to look very hard:

The flag of Finland:


The flag and arms of the French Republic:




The flag of Georgia (the country, not the U.S. State of Georgia!): Argent a cross between four crosses patty gules.


The flag and arms of the Italian Republic:



On a ship in the harbor, the ensign of the Republic of Poland. This ensign is based on the naval ensign, but instead of the fly being swallowtailed, this is a standard flag shape. Per fess argent and gules in chief the arms of Poland in chief (Gules an eagle displayed argent beaked and crowned or). (The national flag of Poland is simply Per fess argent and gules.)




The flag of the Republic of Slovenia:


And, finally, the arms of Sweden


Quite the international tour, for simply walking about the streets of Copenhagen, Denmark!
