Corsica: Meaning and History

The flag features a black head, known as the ‘Moor's head’, wearing a white headband. On the first Corsican flags, the representation of the head was slightly different. There are several legends about the origin of the Moorish head.

History of the flag

Adopted in 1755 by Pascal Paoli (a Corsican general), the Moor's head is believed to be that of a Saracen (Mansour Ben Ismaïl), who was beheaded by the Corsicans during a battle. This symbol represents victory and freedom for the Corsican people.
