The flag of Castilla-La Mancha consists of two vertical stripes of equal width: the hoist (left side) is red charged with a gold three-towered castle — the historical arms of Castile — while the fly (right side) is white, representing the open plains of La Mancha. The flag is a direct visual translation of the regional coat of arms. It was officialized by the Statute of Autonomy in 1982.
The coat of arms of Castilla-La Mancha is per fess. Upper half (Castile): gules with a gold three-towered castle, masoned in sable and with windows and door in azure — the historical arms of the Kingdom of Castile. Lower half: a plain silver (argent) field, representing the open plains of La Mancha. The shield is ensigned with a closed royal crown. The arms were officialized by Law 1/1983.
