About the place: Kondoros is a town in southeastern Hungary, located in Békés County within the Southern Great Plain region. The town is famous for its historical roadside tavern (csárda) associated with the Hungarian outlaw Sándor Rózsa.
Flag Description: The flag consists of a white rectangular field with the coat of arms of Kondoros centered upon it, topped with the black uppercase inscription 'KONDOROS'. The shield is quartered with a pointed base and black border. The first and fourth quarters are divided nine times green and gold. The second red quarter features a golden condor (or eagle). The third blue quarter depicts a white building of the famous historical inn (csárda) with a gray roof, surmounted by a white crescent on the left (heraldic dexter) and a golden radiant sun on the right (heraldic sinister).
Symbolism: The white background symbolizes purity and peace. The coat of arms references local history and the town's name: the condor in the second quarter serves as a canting element referring to the name Kondoros. The green and gold stripes symbolize the fertile agricultural landscape of the Great Plain and crop abundance. The blue quarter with the historical building represents the famous Kondoros Tavern (Csárda) built at a crossroads, while the sun and crescent symbolize the passage of time and historical regional traditions.
